Insights
Juve Stabia's strategic signings and retention of key management signal positive operational developments, though financial impact remains modest.
Brera Holdings' portfolio team SS Juve Stabia is making calculated moves to build on their successful 2024/25 season, where they finished fifth in Serie B and reached the promotion playoff semifinals. The retention of sporting director Matteo Lovisa for two additional years represents a significant operational win, as he was reportedly courted by other clubs following last season's success.
The appointment of Ignazio Abate as head coach brings valuable pedigree to the club. His background as a former Italian national team player with ten years at AC Milan and experience at Napoli should help attract talent and develop existing players. This high-profile hiring indicates Brera's commitment to investing in quality leadership.
On the financial side, the sale of forward Andrea Adorante to Venezia has generated what the company describes as a "significant capital gain" after his impressive 30-goal performance over 18 months. This transaction highlights the potential of Brera's multi-club ownership model to develop and monetize player assets.
The club has balanced its roster through strategic acquisitions like goalkeeper Alessandro Confente (described as "the best goalkeeper in Serie C last year") while managing departures of loan players. These moves demonstrate disciplined player management that balances competitive performance with financial sustainability.
While these developments show positive operational momentum for one of Brera's portfolio clubs, investors should note that Juve Stabia represents just one asset within Brera Holdings' broader multi-club ownership strategy. The financial impact, while positive, is likely modest relative to Brera's overall operations.

Leading the way is sporting director Matteo Lovisa, who has committed to an additional two years despite strong interest from other clubs following the team's exceptional results in 2024/25 with a roster of players he had selected and built into a cohesive unit.
One of the most promising head coach prospects in Italy has been appointed to lead Juve Stabia on the pitch: Ignazio Abate, a former Italian national team player who spent ten years at AC Milan and one year at Napoli.
Notable signings among the players include new goalkeeper Alessandro Confente, from Vicenza, who was the best goalkeeper in Serie C last year; Lorenzo Carissoni, a former Cittadella right-back who has made 70 appearances in Serie B over the last two years; and striker Tomi Petrovic, have been acquired.
Players that were sold at the end of their loans (returned to their owners), include goalkeepers Thiam (Spal, who later went to Monza) and Matosevic (Triestina), defenders Fortini (Fiorentina), Peda (Palermo), Floriani Mussolini (Lazio, now at Cremonese) and Rocchetti (Cremonese), and forwards Sgarbi (Napoli) and Dubickas (Pisa).
The transfer that resulted in a significant capital gain for Juve Stabia was that of forward Andrea Adorante, who was sold to Venezia after two excellent seasons in Castellammare di Stabia in which he scored 30 goals in just 18 months.
The team's preseason began on July 10, 2025, with a training camp in Castel di Sangro located in the central Italian mountains. Juve Stabia's first competitive match, in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa, will be on August 15 at the Stadio Via del Mare against Serie A side Lecce.
