Overview
- Reggina announced that the sale to a company linked to Lazio owner Claudio Lotito was finalized in Rome and publicly posted by Reggio Calabria mayor Francesco Cannizzaro on June 26, 2026.
- Press reports cite a €1.5 million purchase price and a planned €2.5 million investment to assemble a squad aimed at quick promotion to Serie C, though the club has not published a full financial breakdown.
- The new ownership has not yet confirmed who will serve as president or sporting director and may appoint an administrator to run the club in the short term.
- Sporting operations face urgent pressure because only about 10 players remain under contract and roughly 20 player deals plus the coach Alfio Torrisi’s formal status expire on June 30, 2026.
- The takeover follows Reggina’s collapse from Serie B in 2023 and a restart through Fenice Amaranto, and local leaders hope the Lotito group’s experience will stabilize the club and speed its return to the professional ranks.
