Mauro Meluso aims for Serie B: "Objective to be achieved in two years"

Programs, projects, ambitions. The crosshairs are pointed at the B series “to be achieved in two years“. Mauro Meluso looks to the future, but cannot avoid the present. “We had illusions, we knew there were great difficulties, but we wanted to enter the play-offs. Having said that, we must not forget the development of this year, of great changes, starting with the club. It was a transitory year, with president Faroni who started with the objective of securing the club and I the championship. Our year zero begins in July“.

There remains bitterness for the season and many lessons for the future. "The year did not end very well. There remains a great regret: the Campobasso match is the mirror of the year, it could have been managed much better. Responsibility that the team must take, we had only one cautioned and eleven. It does not mean that these months have served no purpose, we have made many considerations. Together with Faroni, who constantly supports us, we are working hard to ensure that this club grows".

To get where? “In the next two years the goal is to go to Serie B. Here too, as in Lecce, I have to try to win, always keeping the principles of economic sustainability firm – he continues Mauro Meluso – . The next two years will be the ones in which this club must absolutely aim to go to Serie B. When I talk about year zero, the next one, it doesn’t mean that we are starting from scratch, on the contrary I am convinced that we have the tools to fight immediately for the top places”.

Il Tap starts again from Cangelosi. “A rush to renew Cangelosi? No rush. We thought the coach was suitable to continue an idea he had, to pursue the goals we set ourselves. We believe a lot in Cangelosi, he immediately got into the reality of the place. He immediately understood the problems. I am very happy that he agreed to stay, to have him at my side to try to bring the club to Serie B. I think he is the right person”.

Team: will it be a reconstruction or a revolution? “We start with a big advantage. There will certainly be many additions. I don't know how many but they will be considerable. We think that we also need experienced players who can provide consistent performance. There is no need to be frenetic. We will work on the 4-3-3. There are players who deserve to be here. We will create a team that will have to fight until the end to conquer the top positions. Winning in C is very difficult, the objective is to do it in two years”.

Will the most interesting young players be retained? Contacts with Seghetti's entourage have been re-established for the renewal. He will tell us before the retreat whether he wants to renew or not. When a player wants to leave, there is no point in holding him back."
