and are moving toward the end of their run together, with separation now described as increasingly close after 867 days in charge. The only thing still missing is the formal announcement.

That is why Calabro is the name being searched now. He has led Carrarese through 104 matches, from the 0-0 draw at Vis Pesaro on 21 January 2024 to a period that changed the club’s scale. In that span, Carrarese climbed into , returned to the second division after 76 years and then stayed up for two straight seasons.

The numbers tell the story of a cycle that went well beyond survival. Calabro took Carrarese through a playoff run in 2024, then guided the club to one promotion to Serie B and two consecutive salvezze. The first of those escapes came without the need for playouts, while the second was seen as even more important for continuity and maturity.

For a club that had spent decades outside the second tier, the achievement was not just to get there but to remain there. That is what makes this possible split feel less like a break and more like the closing of a chapter that achieved its main objective.

And yet there is still a gap between the shape of the story and the line that would make it official. The separation appears imminent, but the reason for it has not been spelled out, and the club has not yet made its announcement. Until that happens, Calabro’s 867-day spell remains one of Carrarese’s defining stretches — a promotion, two salvezze and 104 matches that restored the club’s place in Serie B.
