Cagliari 2026 preseason preparations

Entities: Modena Football Club · Cagliari Calcio · Fabio Pisacane · FC Modena · Sebastiano Esposito

Overview

In late July 2026 Cagliari began its pre‑season training camp in the Alps. The first friendly, a 0‑0 draw against Sampdoria on 23 July, saw coach Fabio Pisacane trial midfielder Alessandro Deiola in a deeper role and confirm the loan of defender Francesco Beidi Gallea. The club also noted the signing of former Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne by Sampdoria, a development outside Cagliari but relevant to the broader transfer window.

A few days later, on 28 July, Cagliari faced Serie B side Modena and secured a 1‑0 win thanks to a late goal from Kingstone Mutandwa. Pisacane highlighted the squad’s defensive organisation, the increasing training load, and ongoing work to improve midfield play and attacking options. He also discussed contract negotiations with forward Sebastiano Esposito, reinforcing the player’s commitment to the team.

Together the matches illustrate Cagliari’s gradual build‑up: initial squad experimentation and roster moves followed by signs of tactical cohesion and fitness ahead of the upcoming Serie A season.
