Athletic Palermo: Confirmed seniors Lores Varela, Mazzotta and Crivello

Athletic Palermo will rely on veteran players in their reboot plan. The club has officially announced the continuation of three seniors in this development — Ignacio Lores Varela, Antonio Mazzotta and Roberto Crivello — for next season.

Ignacio Lores Varela boasts experience with clubs such as Pisa, Siena, Palermo and Avellino during his career and will be one of the restarting points for Athletic Palermo, the club said. The team needs similar experience and his enthusiasm is expected to be a good asset for the new project.

Club captain Antonio Mazzotta has also been announced as a continuation. With experience coming in at Bari and Pescara, Mazzotta is ready to provide leadership to the team.

Defensive appointee Roberto Crivello also continues; Clubmates believe he will bring stability to the team's defense with his previous experience with clubs such as Frosinone and Palermo.

Finally, the addition of new coach Giuseppe Ferrazzoli played a key role in these closing decisions. Sources who worked at Athletic Palermo said the new coach's approachability and tactical vision were crucial in keeping the seniors going. The experience of these players under Ferrazzoli should be the mainstay of the club's re-establishment in the new season.
