Sassuolo is preparing to turn the page with Alberto Aquilani's arrival, as Catanzaro's management accelerates the search for a new coach. Aquilani has been a key figure in Catanzaro's success, leading the team to the Serie A playoffs and attracting attention from other top clubs. However, it seems that Aquilani is now set to join Sassuolo, with the two clubs reportedly close to agreeing a deal. With Aquilani's future now looking increasingly likely to be in Emilia, Catanzaro is turning its attention to finding a new coach. Daniele Galloppa, who has been successful with Fiorentina's youth teams, is one of the leading candidates for the job. Galloppa has a strong track record of developing young players and has been praised for his ability to create competitive teams. He is seen as a strong fit for Catanzaro's philosophy and project, which has been built by president Floriano Noto and director of sport Ciro Polito. The Catanzaro-Sassuolo connection may not be limited to the coaching staff, as Aquilani has reportedly expressed interest in signing Mattia Liberali, a talented young player who has impressed in Catanzaro's youth teams. Liberali is considered one of Catanzaro's top assets, and the club is unlikely to let him go easily, especially given its asking price of at least 10 million euros. The interest in Liberali is a testament to the attention that Catanzaro has received from top clubs in the Serie A in recent months. Meanwhile, the hunt for Galloppa continues, with Modena, Carrarese, and Sampdoria also showing interest in the young coach. However, Catanzaro is keen to move quickly to close the chapter on Aquilani and start a new phase of growth, without interrupting the progress that has been made in recent years.
