Aimo Diana named new coach of Perugia Calcio

Aimo Diana has been appointed head coach of Serie B side Perugia Calcio on a two‑year contract, with club director Alessandro Gaucci publicly backing the decision. Both Diana and Gaucci emphasized the urgent need to rebuild the squad, noting that time, not player quality, is the main challenge.

The club’s management is working through the night to complete a market overhaul, having already secured eight or nine new signings and planning to add four to five more in the coming days. Diana said the priority is to forge a united dressing‑room, focus on mentality and athletic condition, and integrate the incoming players into his tactical project. Gaucci highlighted the cost‑controlled approach and the desire to assemble a competitive roster that matches the club’s identity.

Both officials expressed confidence that the rapid recruitment and Diana’s leadership will restore a winning culture at Perugia.
