Holidays are almost over for the youth teams of the Academy too, as they are ready to start the new season. The Primavera will kick off things as always, with fitness tests in working groups on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 July. The first training session is scheduled for Saturday 16 July in the morning.

Picking up Massimo Brambilla’s baton on the bench of the Nerazzurri Primavera team this year will be Marco Fioretto, who coached the U17s last season. The other teams’ technical staffs have also been defined: there has been a general reshuffle, but always choosing internal solutions.

The U18s will be coached by Stefano Lorenzi (who is fresh from the stewardship of the U16s), while Giampaolo Bellini will be at the helm of the U17s, which will be his first experience as head coach after years spent on the Primavera staff. This year U16 will be coached by Giovanni Bosi (last season with the U18s), while the U15s will still be coached by Alessio Gambirasio and the U14s by Roberto Previtali.
