Italian football: Taranto and Pistoiese prepare for upcoming matches

Italian football clubs Taranto and Pistoiese prepare for upcoming matches. Taranto faces Ostuni in the Coppa Italia Eccellenza. Following a recent victory against Racale, coach Luca Tiozzo emphasized the need for character and tactical flexibility, noting that while the squad is competitive enough to allow for rotation, the team must remain focused against a fast and clever opponent.

Pistoiese is set to host newly promoted Arconatese in a midweek Serie D match. After two consecutive wins, coach Pierpaolo Bisoli has called for concentration to maintain their momentum. The team will see the return of Federico Russo, though several players remain unavailable due to injury or fitness issues, including Maldonado, Luperini, and Tavanti.
