Casertana has officially presented Federico Coppitelli as their new head coach, signaling the start of their project for the 2025-26 season. During his initial commentary, Coppitelli shed light on the specific reasons behind his decision to join the Campania-based club.
He described Caserta as a “stimulating place” and highlighted finding a “positive environment” conducive to effective work. In a statement that cuts straight to his philosophy, Coppitelli declared, “I don`t love words, but work.” This focus on practical application over rhetoric provides a clear insight into his anticipated approach – a refreshing declaration in a world often saturated with managerial pronouncements.
The club concluded the previous season in 16th position, successfully securing their safety without facing the play-outs, setting a baseline from which the new coach will aim to build.
Delving into his on-field vision and expectations for the players, Coach Coppitelli outlined his tactical preferences. He stated that the primary formation would be a 4-3-3, adaptable with variations based on match requirements. However, his emphasis lies less on the specific shape and more on the team`s fundamental characteristics. He explicitly desires an “intense” squad.
Crucially, he defined this intensity broadly, extending it beyond physical exertion to encompass character and emotional commitment. His core demands for the footballers are distilled into two essential elements: “A united group, enthusiasm, that`s what I want from my footballers.” This clear mandate suggests a focus on team spirit and a proactive approach, both on and off the pitch.
Coppitelli`s arrival signals a new chapter for Casertana, marked by a clear emphasis on hard work, a defined tactical structure, and a demand for specific mental and emotional qualities from the players. The focus is firmly on the upcoming season and the practical steps required to achieve the club`s objectives.
