Mantova has decided to confirm Nicola Marchesi as team manager, a position he has successfully held for the past three seasons. Despite rumors of a possible return for Stefano Franchi, former biancorosso striker, the club opted to keep Marchesi in his role. The decision was made in preparation for the pre-season organization, which includes gatherings, retreats, and friendlies. Franchi, who left Lumezzane to return to Mantova, is now looking for a new team after a verbal agreement with president Filippo Piccoli did not materialize. This situation has left Franchi disappointed, as he hoped to rejoin the club after 13 years since his last season. Thus, Mantova continues to rely on Marchesi for managing the team ahead of the new Serie B season.
