While awaiting news on the club's management and the group it will be placed in with the other Sardinian teams, which will be announced tomorrow when the LND unveils the 2025/26 Serie D groupings live on Instagram, Olbia remains shrouded in silence. Without a team or management, and with a future far from certain.
While the team's development was halted early with the emergence of the Swiss owners' new financial difficulties and the opening to the sale of SwissPro's shares, the resignation of Alessandro Giorgi as general manager and the departure of technical director Manuel Gonzalez deprive the Gallura club of the only remaining management figures in the city following the departure of Guido Surace, who flew to Argentina after resigning as Olbia's president, and his partner Benno Räber, who has been in Switzerland for almost a month.
Some believe that Surace and Räber's moves, following their admission to the league, could herald an imminent change at the top: rumors suggest that negotiations for the sale of Olbia Calcio are in full swing, and the speculative buyers could soon be revealed. Yet such inaction, when the season should already be underway, does not bode well.
Meanwhile, their official debut is edging closer. Having finished the previous season in tenth place, the Whites are expected to skip the preliminary round of the Coppa Italia, scheduled for August 24th, and make their debut in the first round the following week. With preparations starting—if they start—significantly later than their opponents, this is a bit of good news for the Nespoli side.
