OFFICIAL STATEMENT | Carlo Ilari and Matteo Mandorlini
Ilari and Mandorlini: confirmed quality and experience for Ravenna FC’s midfield.
The playmaker, formerly of Lecco, signs a two-year contract, while veteran Mandorlini extends for another season, continuing their journey with the Giallorossi.

Despite an injury limiting his playing time, Ilari has already made his mark with moments of class, including the stunning goal against Imolese, one of last season’s finest. The 1991-born midfielder, with an impressive career behind him, will remain part of the Ravenna project, bringing vision and experience to the team’s service.

Mandorlini’s on-field experience and leadership proved crucial last year in the team’s development, providing tactical balance and solidity during key moments of the season. A highly reliable midfielder, capable of controlling the tempo of play and adding substance to the attack, Mandorlini is a valuable asset both for the dressing room and the starting eleven.
