The FIGC, through its official communication channels, has announced the news regarding the coaching staff of the Under 19 national teams..
Here are the main new features in the squad: after reaching the European semi-final with the Under 19 national team, Bernardo Corradi will continue his journey with Italy as Under 20 coachto lead ‘his’ boys to the World Championship in the category scheduled for 2025 in Chile. Consequent to the ‘slip’ – or rather: the return – of Alberto Bollini to the Under 19after the European title won just one year ago. Daniele Zoratto will instead be alongside Maurizio Viscidi in the role of vice coordinator of the men’s youth national teams and so Marco Scarpa will sit on the bench of the Under 16sformer observer of Club Italia and last season assistant to Bollini in the Under 20s.
Joining Club Italia are: Manuel Pasqual, who will be assistant coach to Daniele Franceschini in the Under 18s, and Cristiano Lupatelli, who will be goalkeeping coach in the Under 16 national team.
But how do you start again after a season that has been very positive for the results achieved by the Azzurrini? “We start again – underlined Maurizio Viscidi, before starting his lesson – with the satisfaction of having obtained a historic title with the Under 17, a semi-final at the Under 19 European Championship and the consequent qualification for the Under 20 World Cup, achieved for the fourth consecutive time. The awareness is that these results are the fruit of daily work, of many people, from coaches to assistants, to trainers, match analysts and observers, in addition to the organizational part. So the first thing you have to do is not rest on your laurels, but know that a long journey has been made to get here and that if you don’t find continuity and daily work, you won’t achieve the same results.
So: well done for what has been done, but now we need to start sowing for the future again.”
