The Ravenna Football Club 1913 is pleased to announce the renewal of the contract with the player Umberto Agnelli.
The defender born in 2000, who arrived last season from Fanfulla, immediately proved to be an indispensable member of the team. He combined great defensive reliability with versatility, performing effectively both as a central defender and as a wing-back, and even in midfield, always with high intensity and without lowering his performance levels.

The Neapolitan attacking midfielder has just completed a standout season, with statistics showing 6 goals and 6 assists in the league. However, Nappello's impact on the giallorossi was far greater than just numbers. A true linchpin of the team, he consistently orchestrated the Ravenna FC attack with skill and charisma, delighting fans with plays that were always high-quality and never ordinary.
The first confirmation for Ravenna FC's 2024/2025 season will be Nappello, with a contract renewal that lays the groundwork for an even more ambitious season.
