Former World Cup Winner Emerges as Candidate for Foggia Coach Role

Football News

Foggia is facing the task of rebuilding after a truly turbulent season in Serie C. The *Rossoneri* first encountered difficulties in terms of results in Group C, which was then compounded by President Canonico`s step back. This turmoil led to a play-out match and the club even ending up under judicial administration.

In short, the future certainly doesn`t appear bright, with doubts surrounding the club`s management and the lack of an adequate technical project for the next Serie C championship. The primary search now is for a coaching profile around whom they can then build the transfer market and subsequently the 2025-26 season. Many names have circulated in recent days, but a surprising new one has reportedly surfaced.

This name is Marco Amelia, a former notable Serie A goalkeeper and a World Cup winner in 2006, part of the goalkeeping group with Buffon and Peruzzi. In recent months, he coached Sondrio in Serie D, taking over in December and successfully leading the team to safety. Regarding the management side, various profiles are being evaluated for the role of sporting director, among whom Alessandro Pizzoli currently stands out.
