Italian clubs appoint new staff

Overview

Throughout the summer of 2026, various Italian sports clubs across football, futsal, and handball have undergone management refreshes, expanding leadership roles to include specialized support staff and new coaching directions.

In late July, Athletic Club Palermo appointed former player Giuseppe Ferazzoli as head coach, with director Giorgio Perinetti noting his “balanced, diligent coaching style.” Simultaneously, handball club Pallamano Camerano introduced Nicolas Sintas Rodriguez, a former video analyst for Uruguay’s national team, to lead its first-team and focus on a “youth-centered project.”

By early August, Unitas Sciacca Calcio appointed Dr. Giuseppe Bonagiuso as a mental coach to assist with stress management and leadership. Futsal club Cadi Antincendi Futura emphasized continuity by confirming technical director Angelo Saccà for his 15th year while introducing Sylvio Rocha as head coach for the Serie A2 Elite season.

In late August, Sicilian football clubs continued the trend of coaching changes. Atletico Catania 1994 Viagrande named UEFA A licensed coach Angelo Bognanni as head coach to lead a renewed squad. Additionally, Tirrenica Fc—a club formed by the merger of Rosmarino and Acquedolcese—appointed Salvatore Cambria as manager to succeed Michele Cataldidi.
