"The coming weeks will be crucial for Lugano," states the sporting director. Special attention is focused on new signings as the team seeks reinforcements to boost their performance. The injuries of several key players have made the urgency for transfers even more pressing.

Last season, Lugano already brought in some talents, but it remains to be seen if they will be active in the transfer market. The scouting network will be focused on talents within the Swiss league as well as in neighboring countries. The emphasis could be on players who can reinvigorate the offense without breaking the budget.

Alongside the search for new players, retaining existing stars, like Mattia Bottani, will be of utmost importance. "We want to build a team that consistently competes at the highest level in the coming years," the sporting director adds.
