Cagliari bids farewell to Nicolas Viola . The Calabrian midfielder, who arrived on the island in July 2022, is leaving after three years. He is not part of the '25-26 project of Fabio Pisacane's new Cagliari .

Viola closed his Cagliari interlude with 77 appearances, 11 goals, 10 assists and zero red cards , but his contribution inside the locker room, on the pitch in moments of confusion, on the youngsters and in the relationship with the coaches, cannot be quantified.

Eleven months ago, the renewal for another season after sending signs of love via social media to Cagliari and Cagliari. In the championship that ended in Naples on May 23, Viola played 27 games and scored three goals. His goal against Inter in the explosive draw (2-2) at San Siro thirteen months ago, and his header at the end that could have become the match point, remain among the most beautiful memories he leaves to the fans.

The rossoblù are also awaiting the new sporting director, Guido Angelozzi, 70 years old . The signing of the one-year contract with the option of an extension tied to remaining in Serie A will probably take place tomorrow. Angelozzi arrives from Frosinone and brings with him one of his most faithful collaborators, the head of the Gialloblu scouting area Gianluca Longo . The separation with Nereo Bonato , tied to Cagliari by another two years of contract, becomes automatic.
