Serie B Preview: Mantova

Mantova fell well short of their stated ambition of making it to the Serie A but that hasn’t deterred their rock and roll president Fabrizio Lori (pictured).

His desire to see the team win through attractive football has seen Mantova to shell out in order to buy midfielder Tomas Locatelli. This despite last season’s failed experiment of Stefano Fiore who found it too difficult to adapt to the pace of the Serie B. Another experiment that didn’t impress was that which put Giuseppe Brucato in charge and he has apparently done enough to see him in charge even in the new season despite rumours of the possible return of Mimmo Di Carlo..

Their forward line certainly seems to be up to the task with the experienced duo of Denis Godeas and ‘Re’ Giorgio Corona. Allied with a group of talented individuals and the support of one of the Serie B’s most loyal set of supporters, perhaps this could be the year when Mantova’s dreams come true.

Key Man: Denis Godeas
Best Bit of Business: Tomas Locatelli from Siena
