Bisoli's explosive reunion with FC Südtirol

At the beginning of December 2023, Pierpaolo Bisoli was released from FC Südtirol. Almost five months later, the FCS meets its former successful coach again. So explosiveness is guaranteed.

Pierpaolo Bisoli wrote a fairy tale with the FCS last year. After three defeats at the start, the experienced trainer came to Bolzano and ultimately led the white-reds to the playoff semi-finals. Nobody thought this was possible. But times are changing quickly in football. On Saturday afternoon (14 p.m.) Bisoli will face the FCS as an opponent. The game is played in Modena.

FC Südtirol was in 13th place this year when Bisoli was fired. His successor, former junior coach Federico Valente, led the white-reds to 11th place. His style of football and that of Bisoli are different. Valente lets his team attack a little higher and has also installed a three-man defense chain. Captain Fabian Tait, who played at six under Bisoli, has now been converted to number ten.

Bisoli himself was introduced as the new Modena coach last week and received a contract until the summer of 2025. This year the Canarini are aiming to stay in class. On Bisoli's debut, Modena drew 0-0 in Ascoli. You can tell: The 57-year-old also relies on a stable defense at the club from Emilia-Romagna and can rely on Giovanni Zaro, with whom he had already worked successfully at FCS last year.

Modena could catch up with FC Südtirol in the table with a win. Then the yellow-blues would probably be rid of their biggest relegation worries. One thing is certain: Bisoli knows the FCS team inside out and will prepare his team accordingly. A victory would certainly be late satisfaction for him. So Tait & Co. have been warned.
