Bisoli vs. Cannavaro: A special coaching duel in Bolzano

On the one hand, Pierpaolo Bisoli will be on the sidelines: The FCS coach is an old hand in the coaching business and has celebrated great success from Serie C to Serie A. The 55-year-old has also made a big impact at FC Südtirol and has scored ten points in his four games so far. Bisoli didn't just lift the FCS up the table. With his infectious manner, the trainer from Emilia-Romagna infected the entire club and gave the players a new belief in staying in the league. Bisoli has also been worth gold for the FCS for the club's external representation in Serie B.

On the other side will be Benevento Calcio's new coach, Fabio Cannavaro: the former defender is an icon of Italian football and captained the Azzurri to the World Cup title in 2006. Compared to the former solid Serie A midfielder Bisoli has to Cannavaro, however, only earns his laurels as a coach.

Cannavaro's coaching career began in 2013 at Al-Ahli in the Emirates, where he worked as an assistant coach. The Neapolitan native then moved to China and Saudi Arabia as head coach. Benevento is Cannavaro's first training station in Europe. The 49-year-old started this last Sunday with a 1-1 draw at home against Ascoli. A top team on paper Before the clash with Benevento, FCS coach Bisoli praised the quality of the opponent at the matchday PK in Rungg: “On paper, Benevento is one of the top teams in the league. However, they have only scored 8 points so far. The team will definitely want to show their worth on Sunday. Above all, Benevento has a lot of quality in terms of play. The squad is full of big names. "

Indeed, the Campanians have a top-class squad with many former Serie A players. In the recent past, Benevento played in Serie A twice (2016/17 and 2020/21). Last year, promotion was only missed in the playoffs. “It will be one of the most difficult tasks for us because of the characteristics of Benevento. But we are certainly not afraid. We showed this impressively, not least in Palermo,” said Bisoli. A painful failure The FCS will be missing Matteo Rover on Sunday. The winger has made a big impact with three goals in seven games in Serie B. “He has a foot injury and can’t get into the football boot. "He's certainly an important player for us, but there's no reason to worry." Daniele Casiraghi will probably be back in the starting line-up for Rover. In midfield, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia could be preferred over Marco Pompetti. “With trust, a lot is possible in football.” Bisoli on Odogwu Captain Fabian Tait will be in the starting line-up again. However, it is unclear whether the FCS will play in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. Raphael Odogwu will definitely be at the front again. The Italian-Nigerian is the big surprise of the season so far. “I've said before that he threw away a career for me. But he needs a coach who believes in him and top fitness. With trust, a lot is possible in football. You can also see this in Romelu Lukaku, for example, who is a similar type of player. Depending on the situation, you get him in the Inter or Chelsea constitution,” said Bisoli, referring to the 31-year-old Odogwu.
