The Italian football club Nuova Igea Virtus has undergone several personnel changes during its Serie D campaign.

In late September, the club strengthened its roster by signing defender Alessandro Ciaramella, an ambidextrous full-back, while also announcing the departure of attacker Antonio Palme to Sporting Club Taormina. 

By mid-October, the club addressed coaching instability following a series of inconsistent results and a departure from head coach Emanuele Ferraro. The club described the separation from Ferraro as a “shared and weighed decision by both parties in a climate of mutual esteem.” Giacomo Modica was subsequently appointed as the new head coach, supported by assistant coach Vincenzo Modica, to stabilize the team’s position in Group I.
