“Today at 3PM, the first training session.”

A new coach, a new staff. This marks the third change in just four months of the championship. Indeed, Claudio Ranieri will rely heavily on many of the men who have accompanied him in his recent successful years around Europe and Italy. One certainty is Paolo Benetti, his esteemed deputy since 2007. Former defender for Ascoli and Catanzaro, Benetti, 59 years old and originally from Cormano, kick-started his coaching career with the youth team of Lazio in 2005. Two years later, he had a momentous encounter with Ranieri. The duo has worked together in teams stretching from Juventus to Monaco, the Greek National Team, Leicester City, Watford, Nantes, and Cagliari. Next up, other key staff members: Massimo Catalano, the fitness coach, is joined by his collaborator, Vitantonio Pascale. Catalano, born in 1974 in Eboli, has a distinguished career that includes engagements with Palermo and Fiorentina before spending a decade as part of Sampdoria’s technical staff, joining in 2012. Pascale, on the other hand, born in 1982 in Bari, boasts experiences with teams such as Bari, Nantes, Fulham, Nice (during his junior years) and Genoa. Both have already worked with Ranieri: Catalano at Samp in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons; Pascale at Nantes in the 2017-18 season and at Fulham, 2018-19 season. In the coming hours, assessments will also be considered for the presence of the other collaborator, Sergio Spalla, and the goalkeepers’ coach Walter Bressan.
