Far from clarifying the situation and reassuring fans, Olbia's post-relegation statement only fueled doubts and concerns about the future of the Bianconeri, who in three years have risen from Serie C to Eccellenza.
A dramatic collapse stemming from the Gallura club's corporate, financial, and management crisis, an emergency that the transfer of ownership from SwissPro to Prosoccer, which took place in January but still needs to be finalized with the payment of six installments between the end of June and November 2028 (two of 125,000 euros and the remaining 100,000 euros), plus the assumption of several debts, should have resolved rather than worsened, as it has since occurred.
Despite this , the team, with its players having been without wages for months, ended up playing for survival in the playouts, coming close to achieving this feat on Sunday in Ischia.
Those expecting the resignations of coach Daniele Livieri and technical director Ninni Corda were disappointed, but to determine whether Olbia—which announced in yesterday's statement that it intends to request "readmission or repechage to the Serie D championship" and initiate "a debt restructuring agreement"—will restart with them, we'll have to wait for the next moves by Prosoccer Srl, of which only the name and face of its legal representative, Flavia Fiore, are currently known.
Among other things, barring a management change, she will be required to appear in court in Tempio Pausania on May 21st for a hearing in the dispute involving seven former Olbia Calcio employees, who, according to rumors, are claiming unpaid wages totaling €100,000.
