ACA Return: Former Goalkeeper Opens Up About His Comeback and National 2 Ambitions

The Path Back to AC Ajaccio

Sollacaro’s return to the club materialized after a turbulent stretch that followed ACA’s fall more than a year prior. Reflecting on his time without a club, the goalkeeper explained that the initial delay stemmed from waiting for a summer resolution that ultimately cost him a club. As the season progressed, finding a suitable home proved difficult because teams are not necessarily looking for a goalkeeper when squads are already in place.

During the summer months, opportunities began to surface. Sollacaro had contacts with clubs in Ligue 2 and Ligue 3. One potential move fell through at the last moment, and it was complicated. Following that setback, the player re-evaluated his options alongside the new dirigeants of AC Ajaccio.

Discussions With Club Leadership and Coach Antho Lippini

The groundwork for Sollacaro’s comeback was laid during conversations with dirigentes and coach Antho Lippini. According to the goalkeeper, the dirigentes approached the situation with patience, encouraging him to see how the mercato unfolded before making any definitive career choices while assuring him that the door at ACA was always open.

Discussions with coach Antho Lippini and the dirigeants maintained a consistent stance throughout the process. The club communicated that they would be happy for him to come provided that he asked himself the right questions. With those talks finalized, Sollacaro officially reintegrated into the ACA squad.

Chasing Promotion to National 2
