In the latest developments of Serie B coaching positions, Antonio Calabro remains with Carrarese, despite speculation regarding his potential departure. The coach has not finalized any agreement with other clubs, including Padova, as discussions are ongoing through his agent.
Verona Faces Coaching Decisions
Meanwhile, Verona is narrowing down its candidates for the managerial position following the departure of Sammarco, who previously led the team in Serie A. Sporting Director Sean Sogliano, who rejected an offer from Lecce, must decide between two main candidates: Gilardino and D’Aversa.
- Gilardino: Currently under contract with Pisa, he has signed a two-year deal worth over one million euros per season. He is also being considered by Sampdoria.
- D’Aversa: He has not coached in Serie B for eight years but is keen on a return to top-flight football.
Sogliano is willing to invest in the right candidate, recognizing the potential impact they could have on the team.
Südtirol’s Management Transition
In addition, Südtirol is also undergoing changes. With Paolo Bravo departing, the club is on the lookout for a capable replacement. Matteo Lovisa, leaving Juve Stabia, is a primary candidate. Others on the list include Botturi, a former Mantova coach, and Claudio Chiellini, brother of Giorgio Chiellini.

Sampdoria is preparing for an overhaul, needing to fill the void left by Andrea Mancini. They are considering hiring a foreign coach for the role.
Catanzaro is also seeking a replacement for Aquilani, who is expected to move to Serie A. Pecchia, who has attracted attention from Pisa, is among the front-runners for this position.
These ongoing negotiations highlight the busy coaching landscape in Serie B as clubs strive to build competitive teams ahead of the upcoming season.
