Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) strategy, announced that portfolio club SS Juve Stabia is preparing for the 2025/26 Serie B season with a revamped coaching staff and key player signings This follows a standout 2024/25 campaign that saw the team finish fifth in the table and reach the semifinals of the Serie A promotion playoffs, driving rising valuation (https://ibn.fm/JpvLB).
The club has appointed former Italian national team player Ignazio Abate as head coach. Abate, who spent the bulk of his career at AC Milan and one season at Napoli, is viewed as one of Italy’s most promising managerial prospects. His appointment signals Juve Stabia’s intent to build on its recent success with an emphasis on disciplined play and player development.
Sporting Director Matteo Lovisa, who built last season’s high-performing roster, has renewed his contract for two additional years. His decision to stay, despite interest from other clubs, provides critical continuity as Juve Stabia aims to push deeper into promotion contention.
Player moves also reflect an aggressive offseason strategy. The club secured goalkeeper Alessandro Confente, widely regarded as the top goalkeeper in Serie C last year, along with experienced right-back Lorenzo Carissoni and striker Tomi Petrovic. These additions come alongside the return of several loaned-out players and the sale of key forward Andrea Adorante to Venezia after a prolific 30-goal stint with Juve Stabia. That transfer, in particular, generated a significant capital gain for the club.
These moves follow a notable increase in the club’s overall valuation. During the 2024/25 season, Juve Stabia’s squad value surged 245%, rising from $9.3 million to $32.3 million. The club posted the highest market value growth in Italy’s Serie B, with performance on the pitch and a rising fan base both contributing to the boost (https://ibn.fm/bkumB).
“This extraordinary growth reflects both the untapped potential of Juve Stabia and Brera’s value-creation strategy in action,” said Daniel McClory, Executive Chairman of Brera Holdings. McClory emphasized the company’s focus on operational alignment, talent development, and performance-led asset appreciation.
Brera Holdings completed its 52% majority acquisition of SS Juve Stabia on June 20, 2025, marking the formal close of a deal that began in December 2024 with an agreement to purchase the stake from XX Settembre srl, led by club President Andrea Langella. Brera’s multi-club ownership strategy centers on acquiring clubs like Juve Stabia, those with historical relevance, committed local support, and measurable upside in player value and sporting performance.
The team’s preseason began July 10 in Castel di Sangro, and Juve Stabia will kick off its 2025/26 campaign with a Coppa Italia Frecciarossa match against Serie A side Lecce on August 15 at the Stadio Via del Mare.
