The first, Gennaro, is the son of the president who conquered Serie A in the nineties
The name Casillo appears again on the horizon of Foggia. In recent days, rumors have intensified about a possible acquisition of the Rossoneri club by Gennaro Casillo, son of Pasquale, the historic president who led the club in its brightest and most controversial years. Together with him there would be Giuseppe De Vitto, the two young entrepreneurs are currently the owners of Heraclea Candela, a militant team in Serie D. According to what filters from nearby circles, the dialogue between the current owner Nicola Canonico and the Casillo-De Vitto tandem would have found a substantial convergence on several fronts. In the city there is talk of an agreement already reached on the key points of the operation, with the final phase now linked to the final technical steps and the closure of the due diligence.

The possible return of the Casillo surname at the helm of Foggia inevitably brings to mind one of the most iconic seasons in Rossoneri history. “Don Pasquale”, who passed away in 2020, was president of the club at two separate times. The first, at the beginning of the nineties, coincided with the extraordinary climb from Serie C to Serie A, the salvation achieved against all odds and a gaming identity that set the tone at a national level, before the well-known judicial events put an end to that epic. And then in 2010 again with Zeman and Pavone, but with mixed success.

Casillo and De Vitto’s objective would be to speed up the process, also to unblock a situation that is inevitably affecting Foggia’s incoming market, which is currently frozen just waiting for corporate certainties. A rapid definition of the ownership would in fact allow us to plan the sporting project and the operational strategies with greater clarity in order to achieve salvation this season.
