Josè Cianni leaves Recanatese: eight years of successes and challenges in Serie C

The resignation of the technical area manager also arrived yesterday Jose Cianni, moreover closely tied to the "outgoing management". For him eight years, and what years, with a role of great responsibility and complexity, in which he also made mistakes (in some cases notable, especially at the start) but then building teams that achieved, in great style, enormous results, with the peak reached in May 2023 with the first round of the playoffs in the championship of series C.

The story then, we have remarked many times, "dramatically" took a turn a year ago, in Pesaro, at the end of a season in which everything and the opposite of everything happened, with the attempt to save the ship that was sinking, faded in extremis, practically at the last second. Cianni also tried to reconcile, not an easy aspect, the needs of the market with those of the budget also through diplomatic acrobatics, convincing many players to embrace the Giallorossi cause perhaps with reimbursements that were not exactly princely, also remembering that the budget at his disposal was the lowest in the entire third division. "When you have given everything for a shirt you have no room for regrets, he wrote on his social channels. Recanatise for me it was a second home, even before it was a team. The dream of bringing it to professionalism has come true, with incredible results that will remain in history and achieved with small great secrets such as vision, sacrifice, respect for roles, mutual trust. And above all: love and family. It has not been easy, with unpopular choices too. Now I look forward with only one certainty: Recanatese will have a special place in my heart".

Very rarely, in the tumultuous world of football, do you see a manager who stays in charge for such a long period, during which there were also some not so happy moments. A clear sign of a bond and a deep trust that had been established with the rest of the management.

The near future, for the Recanatise and for Cianni, was and remains very nebulous precisely because the step between a generic interest and the beginning of a real negotiation is often very tortuous. No real news on the horizon but only indiscretions and "dressing room rumors": the changing of the guard, if there will be one, will require, and that's the only certain thing, a long time.
