Il Messaggero: “Ternana, back to… the past: we start again with Lucarelli”

“Back to the past, we start again with Lucarelli”, caption Messenger.

It should be Ternana of the future, but for now it starts again from the past. From the most recent with the return of Cristiano Lucarelli to the more outdated with Stefano Capozucca, who is about to be back in the red-green club. These are the last two turns of this crazy summer. The latter, but only for the moment, given that other surprises before the close cannot be ruled out at all. Meanwhile Lucarelli. His return was announced yesterday afternoon. In any case, he was on contract, and it would not be very difficult to assume such a choice either, but, according to well-informed people, this decision, taken yesterday in an instant by the future president and patron Nicola Guida, would be approved. by Capozucca himself. Probably based on the assumption that, while still under contract and with the prospect of paying even a solid salary in theory until June 30, 2025, there was talk of the possibility of entrusting him with the main team again, without going out to look for (and pay) other coaches. So, despite the general agreement reached with Fabrizio Castori, who was in contact with sporting director Luca Leone and was only waiting for the close to take over the bench, instead the decision was made to put Lucarelli back in the saddle with the eventual endorsement of Capozucchi. This time, however, we will have to see with what staff. His employees, who were rehabilitated along with him, must return. Returning to Kaposukka as sporting director of Ternana in the early 2000s, during the time the team was coached by Mario Beretta, he was able to return to the red-greens almost twenty years later. A meeting was to take place between him and Guida, which would show the availability of the 68-year-old sports manager. To see, perhaps with what purpose. He won’t necessarily replace Luca Leone, but will also support him in another role, perhaps as a general manager.
