An expected and deserved confirmation for the coach from Salerno who day after day, in these last seasons, has given life and energy to the Futsal project, allowing the team to improve and grow from all points of view.

There has been a tangible technical and tactical growth, which has led Guiscards in the last year to play the play-off semi-final for promotion to C2 and the final four of the Coppa Campania. The coach has always been in perfect harmony with me and the management, so we start again together with him with even more enthusiasm and with the desire to improve in everything».

«I’m really happy that the project can go ahead – declared the Foxes Five coach, Ciro Caserta – We have worked hard over the years and last year we had a great season, having the opportunity to work with a solid group and fortunately without the injuries that have significantly affected previous seasons. We have done well, continuing to lay the foundations to be protagonists. We must start again with enthusiasm, the team block is there and there is a great desire to do well. Certainly we will intervene on the market to improve the squad not so much from a numerical point of view as from a quality one».

Also because Salerno Guiscards is waiting for a championship that is surely expected to be levelled upwards with many teams aiming to move up a category: «Last year was also a tough championship with many competitive teams. From our point of view, if we want to grow we must aim for something more. The goal is to make the play-offs with the best possible placement, so that we can eventually play the semi-final at home». In addition to the arrival of new players, further progress is to be expected, as the group available to mister Caserta has considerable room for growth: «We are still a young team with great potential for improvement. – concludes mister Caserta – also because some are in their second year of five-a-side football. The boys can grow, becoming more familiar with this sport and with the help of some reinforcements from the market we can do well. It takes a bit of time and the boys must understand this too: there is a long way to go».
