Spal, the Argentines win: "Now a new chapter"

Ferrara, July 10, 2025 – The white and blue—sorry, albiceleste—confirmation arrives at 7:30 PM. At the end of a hectic day, with a press conference scheduled for 1 PM and then postponed until dinner, Mayor Alan Fabbri announced his selection of the Argentine consortium led by Juan Martin Molinari . The Italian-Argentine entrepreneur will therefore lead the new Spal in the regional Eccellenza championship, with the goal of bringing them back to the top flight as soon as possible. "In the last few hours, we've worked tirelessly to find the right solution for the new SPAL," Mayor Fabbri explains. "We've tried to do this as best we can, meeting privately with many consortiums who shared their wishes and desires with us. Ultimately, we chose a consortium with Argentine capital, led by Juan Martin Molinari, a prominent entrepreneur with Italian citizenship and solid experience in the business world . We tried to find out his bank details: we'd only asked for one, but he showed us five! Molinari has provided an initial capital of €2 million for the first year, of which €1.15 million will be earmarked for players and staff , a significant detail. Among the key players in this technical and sports project will be Mirco Antenucci, whom we've also spoken to recently and who will have an important operational role within the club (he could be the sporting director, editor's note).

Molinari held 10% of Perugia's shares but sold them , clearly choosing SPAL . Another key person in this matter is Pierpaolo Triulzi, who acted as an intermediary between us and the consortium. He is a former international agent who looked after the interests of Dybala and Cavani and provided us with extensive guarantees. Furthermore, we are also working to maintain a significant youth academy: we are aware of the assets we have. In the next few days, Molinari will arrive in Ferrara and will present his project in more detail. The other consortiums? The companies that participated in the tender have asked not to be named. Campari Group? The press has reported on it.

But who are Molinari and his partners who decided to invest in the new SPAL? "They are highly experienced entrepreneurs," the mayor continues. "One of the leading companies is Vipsa Energia , active in renewable energy with photovoltaic, biogas, and biomass projects in various regions of Argentina. But there are also many others, such as Vipsa Resources, a mining company that holds over 11,600 hectares of concessions in areas with a high concentration of copper, iron, gold, silver, and rare earths in the province of Mendoza.

And then Justoken , a blockchain platform for the tokenization of real assets. Native Carbon , a company committed to environmental sustainability and the development of solutions related to the ecological transition. In addition to these, I'd like to highlight the Andersen School , an educational institution founded in 1969 and active for over 50 years in Buenos Aires. Finally, these entrepreneurs also have real estate and agricultural investments in our country. Many people are working to build a SPAL di Eccellenza that can immediately advance to Serie D.
