Nuova Ternana 1925 has advanced to the Coppa Italia Serie D round of 32, with a knockout match against Recanatese scheduled for October 7 at the Libero Liberati stadium. In the event of a draw after regulation time, the match will proceed directly to a penalty shootout.

Following a recent match against Prato, coach Cesar Falletti commented on the nature of Serie D competition, noting that the style of play is “more physical and less tactical than other categories.” He emphasized that the rugged environment requires players to adapt and stressed the necessity for the team to become “more decisive and concrete” in their attacking play.

This follows a victory against Trestina where young player Tiberio Bruti scored a decisive goal. The club continues to manage squad depth and injuries, with Scappini returning to the group while Pettinari, Falletti, and Zaffalon face varying recovery timelines. Coach Andrea Lisuzzo previously described the squad, which has an average age of 23, as a ‘work in progress.’

In the transfer market, Ternana finalized the loan of winger Ernesto Ballabile from Audace Cerignola. Simone Russini and Matteo Ronconi are undergoing trials, and the club has expressed interest in defender Marco Manetta. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Luigi Delibra has moved to Angelana. 

Internal tensions persist as the supporters' group ‘Vecchio Stampo’ has criticized recent management and the ownership structure, specifically regarding the control of the historical brand by entities linked to Stefano Bandecchi.
