Sanderra had earlier coached L’Aquila, Isernia, Potenza, Frosinone, Tivoli, Cosenza, the Messina primavera side, Gela, Barletta, Cassino, Latina, Salernitana, Catanzaro, Viterbese, Sambenedettese and Racing Fondi.

The Spartans have so far signed Jake Grech, Ante Coric, Lucas Villela, Jack Ipalibo, Tobias Bjørnstad, Emmanuel Ernest and Messie Biatoumoussoka and renewed the contracts of Damir Ceter, Emerson Marcelina and Rafael Compri while confirming the departure of Henry Bonello and Joseph Mbong apart from Jonny, Mouad El Fanis, Blessing Eleke, Ivan Inzoudine and Michele Carboni.
