A new era has begun for Vanoli Cremona. The confirmation of coach Gigi Brotto has started a process of profound refoundation, which involves not only the parquet, but also the internal organization of the club. Historic faces such as the trainer Jacopo Torresi and the team manager Mauro Saja have said goodbye, marking the end of a cycle. The communications manager, Damiano Bonvicini, is also expected to leave. On the field, the renewal is equally clear. The Italian package needs to be rebuilt: Federico Poser and Federico Zampini are headed to Verona, while Stefan Nikolic has chosen the path of Venice. Three significant exits, which require a total overhaul of the technical structure. Not everything, however, will be reset. The club is negotiating the confirmation of Christian Burns, an emotional and technical pillar of the end of the season. At 40 years old, he still has a lot to offer and his experience could prove fundamental in guiding the new group towards balance. The incoming market is already active. They like Giovanni Veronesi, leaving Sassari, but tied to Cremona for his past in the Juvi jersey, and Alessandro Cappelletti, a director of order and vision. In terms of young players, the hottest names are Sasha Grant and Alessandro Lever, both capable of providing energy and quality. With the buyouts of three players to guarantee oxygen to the coffers, Vanoli has the tools to rebuild with ambition. The construction site is open, but the direction is clear: create a new, solid and surprising identity.
