Technical assistant Matteo De Biaggio will also remain at the club, making this his fourth season with the first team after years coaching the youth teams. Sergio Marcon and Kris Stergulc will remain the team’s goalkeeping coaches, while Michele Guadagnino and Mattia Mosanghini will still be the team’s match analysists. Performance and fitness coach Jordi Garcia will also be staying and will be working with the new fitness coach Angel Acena Rodriguez – as well as the current fitness coach Francesco Tonizzo – and Pedro Abraham Capella, who will focus on injury recovery activities.
