Perugia Calcio new era under Gaucci

Entities: Alessandro Gaucci · Perugia Calcio · Arena Curi · Aimo Diana · Hernan Borras

Overview

The Arena Curi consortium, led by former player Alessandro Gaucci, completed the takeover of AC Perugia Calcio on 4 August 2026, giving Gaucci full decision‑making authority. Legal director Hernán Borras remains in place, but all strategic choices now require Gaucci’s sign‑off.

Gaucci announced a rapid squad rebuild, targeting a competitive team by early March 2027 and pledging additional investment if results improve. He confirmed Aimo Diana’s appointment as head coach on a contract through June 2028, replacing Giovanni Tedesco, and introduced a coaching staff that includes Emanuele Filippini, Esteban Gabriel Jesus Anitua and Alessandro Belleri.

The club has already secured several signings, notably Ettore Quirini and Giuseppe Carriero from Salernitana, with more additions expected before the transfer window closes. The new leadership stresses ideas over budget, aiming to boost fan attendance and restore the club’s former glories while pursuing promotion from Serie C.

Overall, the ownership change has moved from negotiation to implementation, with a clear plan to rebuild the squad, stabilize management and pursue on‑field success.
