Pisa drew 1-1 with Hellas Verona in their last match and are preparing for a new match in the midweek round, this time against league leaders Palermo. The match, scheduled for next week, represents an important opportunity for the Tuscan club, which is trying to consolidate its position in SerieB after relegation from the top flight.
The club's context has recently been influenced by important changes in ownership. Monza, just relegated to Serie B, signed a preliminary agreement with the US company BeckettLayneVentures (BLV) on 1 July 2025, and then formalized the agreement on 25 September last year. The operation involved the sale of 80% of the club's shares, with the remaining 20% transferred in June. These transactions took place in a year in which Monza was fighting for a return to SerieA, reaching the playoff final on May 29th against Catanzaro.
Meanwhile, Pisa has undergone a similar, albeit less clear-cut, change. Alexander Knaster had already been at the club since January 2021, but the Corrado family left the club after ten years, paving the way for Damien Comolli, the new president and CEO. Paolo Bianco, current coach, expressed gratitude towards the Corrado family, underlining the importance of their contribution to the club and the city. “We are all lucky to be part of a club like this, there are few of them in the Italian football scene,” Bianco said in a press conference before the match against Hellas.
The new president, Damien Comolli, was chosen partly for his experience and ability to lead the club towards sustainable growth. His arrival was welcomed by the management and the fans, who see him as a point of reference for the future of Pisa. With Bianco in charge, the club aims to consolidate its position in SerieB and prepare for a possible promotion.
The next match with Palermo represents a crucial test for Pisa. If he manages to maintain his defensive solidity and take advantage of scoring opportunities, he will be able to consolidate his position in the table and move closer to the top of Serie B. Attention will also be paid to the management of the club under the new management, which could influence transfer strategies and tactical choices for the rest of the season.
