The Coppa Italia Serie C second round has produced significant results and managerial shifts. Savoia achieved a historic 3-0 away victory against Catania at the Angelo Massimino stadium, securing a place in the round of 16. Savoia coach Alessandro Formisano described the win as a “historic result for the club and the city,” noting that his squad remained compact to exploit spaces during counter-attacks. The victory was fueled by a Tumbarello volley and a two-goal performance by Nepi, which included a penalty. This defeat marks a difficult period for Catania manager Emilio Longo. The Sicilian club has suffered four defeats in its first five matches, a trend not seen at the club in 12 years. These struggles are attributed to a lack of cohesion following squad changes and ongoing financial uncertainties. Despite the debut of veteran striker Massimo Coda, the team was unable to find an offensive rhythm. In other developments, Scafatese was eliminated from the competition following a 5-3 penalty shootout loss to Campobasso after a 1-1 draw. This defeat coincided with the dismissal of Scafatese manager Giovanni Ferraro by club owner Romano due to a poor start to the league season, marking the first coaching change of the season in Girone C. Following the cup exit, Scafatese appointed Michele Facciolo as interim manager to provide technical continuity. Meanwhile, Sorrento secured a 1-0 victory against Cosenza. The upcoming round is scheduled for October 27 and will feature a derby between Savoia and Sorrento.
