Reggina recruitment and tactical shift
Entities: Reggina 1914 · Nicolò Bianchi · full‑back · Alberto Acquadro · Ascoli Calcio
Overview
In early August 2026, Reggina began a focused rebuild of its squad ahead of the new season. The club confirmed the return of veteran midfielder Nicolò Bianchi and said it was monitoring several young prospects to add depth and versatility to its midfield. At the same time, analysts noted the growing importance of the full‑back overlap in Italian football, a tactic that pushes defenders forward to create numerical superiority in attack.
The following day Reggina completed two permanent signings: veteran defender Edoardo Lancini, brought in to strengthen the back line, and experienced midfielder Alberto Acquadro, added to deepen the central unit. Both arrivals are expected to contribute immediately, underscoring the club’s broader recruitment drive and its alignment with contemporary tactical trends.
Overall, the snapshots show Reggina’s coordinated effort to blend experience with youth and to adapt to evolving offensive strategies as it prepares for competition in Serie C.
