PORDENONE. For the announcement of the new coach, as already pointed out by the club, it will be necessary to wait at least until the end of next week. However, Pordenone already has clear ideas on other aspects. So much so that he is about to renew the contract for three of his players.
The people of Pordenone Samuele Perisan, Luca Magnino and Italian-Croatian Karlo Butic, respectively goalkeeper (born in 1997), midfielder (’97) and striker (’98) will shortly extend their respective bond, which currently expires in 2023. Barring surprises, they will add another year to the already existing relationship with the lizards, thus bringing it up to 2024.
A desire, that of further binding some elements to himself, which the technical area, through Matteo Lovisa, had already made understood two days ago, during the press conference for the season.
Pordenone intends to consolidate the players it currently has at its disposal. He wants to create value, also in view of a possible future sale of the same guys.
The choice to propose another year of contract to Perisan, Magnino and Butic is motivated by the fact that the company has been satisfied with their season. The goalkeeper has played 35 league games and has not conceded a goal in 13 of these.
He arrived at De Marchi last October after almost two years in which he held the role of “third” at Udinese: he proved to be reliable. In the future he may also land on more prestigious stages, but both he and his entourage are convinced that the number one needs another tournament as a starter in Serie B.
Magnino, taken on a free transfer by FeralpiSalò in Lega Pro, made 34 appearances and 1 assist in his debut among the cadets, proving to be reliable. For the company in a midfield a cadet team can have its say and can grow.
As for Butic, also on his debut in Serie B after a season in C in Cesena, his tournament was liked not so much for the goals (three, all coinciding with a victory), but for his attitude, the margins for progress and the desire he has to leave his mark.
For Lovisa and his right arm, the ds Emanuele Berrettoni, all three, with a tournament of experience behind them, in 2021-2022 will be even more incisive in the fortunes of the team. The operations will be made official soon. A two-year renewal (expiration 2025) cannot be ruled out either.
In the near future the club will also exercise the right of redemption in respect of Roberto Zammarini (’96), a wild card who after four seasons on loan from Pisa on the banks of the Noncello will become a player for Pordenone in all respects. The new neroverdi, a little at a time, will begin to take shape. Waiting for the new technician and a few thick shots. But for these it is still early.
