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.
