Background

Ivano Vacondio, the general manager of Reggiana, has emphasized that freeing up the wage budget is essential for the club's future in Serie C. The new management is approaching different player profiles, but the process of negotiations and realizing transfers requires time and care.

Why this matters

Relegation to Serie C means that Reggiana must adapt to a new financial reality. The high salary levels of Serie B players pose a major challenge for the club, which must now prioritize freeing up financial resources. This is crucial for building a competitive and motivated squad for the coming season.

After Reggiana's relegation to Serie C, the club has to make tough choices on the transfer market. General manager Ivano Vacondio spoke this week about the challenges of the new management, which is confronted with a significant wage bill that is still based on the previous season in Serie B.

"We actually wanted to immediately say goodbye to players with Serie B salaries in order to create space for players who fit the reality of Serie C and are also highly motivated," said Vacondio. He emphasized that the technical and sporting management has already approached many player profiles, but actually realizing transfers requires time and smooth negotiations.

It is remarkable that freeing up the wage budget has not worked out as hoped so far: "We only expect to be able to take real steps towards the end of August. Our priority remains to get the financial situation in order, with respect for previously concluded contracts and obligations. I hope that players who fall outside our plans will quickly find a solution, so that we can continue to build the selection," Vacondio added.

Vacondio has a clear request for supporters: be patient and don't be too critical if the season starts with an incomplete selection. According to him, the trainer is also aware of this necessary strategy and is prepared to act flexibly.

Only when the transfer market closes at the end of August does Reggiana expect to have a complete picture of the selection and therefore also of the ambitions for the season. Vacondio cannot be pinned down on whether the club will play for direct promotion: "First we look at what is still possible at the end of August. Only then will we know whether we can go for the championship, or whether weshould focus on a stable season in Serie C."

The coming weeks are therefore crucial for Reggiana, both sportingly and financially. For the club, it will depend on acting appropriately, negotiating smartly and showing patience, in the hope of attracting the desired reinforcements in the final phase of the transfer market.

What's happening now

Reggiana is not expected to take significant steps to strengthen the selection until the end of August. The club is working to find solutions for players who do not fit into the plans, so that there is room for new signings. Supporters are asked to be patient as the club adapts to the demands of Serie C football.
