U.S. Salernitana continues its squad reinforcement efforts in preparation for the upcoming season. Following the acquisition of Emanuele Matino, the Campania-based club has officially announced another significant addition to its defensive department: the experienced defender Mauro Coppolaro. Coppolaro joins Salernitana as a free agent after his previous tenure with Modena in Serie B. Concurrently, the club has also confirmed the departure of Junior Sambia.
U.S. Salernitana 1919 proudly announces that an agreement has been reached with defender Mauro Coppolaro, born in 1997. The player, who was unattached after his experience at Modena, has signed a contract with the Granata club until June 30, 2027.
In his most recent two seasons, Coppolaro was on a two-year loan from Modena to Carrarese.
