Italian lower‑division clubs strengthen squads ahead of new season

Coach Bruno Trocini has returned to management with Virtus Francavilla, targeting a move for former Reggina midfielder Domenico Mungo as the team rebuilds after a disappointing Serie D campaign.

At the same time, Varano Borghi announced an extensive recruitment drive, confirming 12 new signings and retaining a core of experienced players to contest the upcoming Seconda Categoria season. The club’s acquisitions include defender Emanuele Cannazza, midfielder Luca D’Andrea, and forward Giorgio Cizzico, among others, reflecting a clear ambition to move beyond a survival focus.
