Maloney Spartans' Head Coach in Sights of FCS Program
Meriden's Maloney Spartans head coach, Joe Della Vecchia, is reportedly being pursued by a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program. Della Vecchia has led the Spartans for the past six seasons, compiling a 42-18 record, including three consecutive Class LL playoff appearances. His tenure has seen a significant uptick in recruiting, with the Spartans consistently ranking among the top programs in the Central Connecticut Conference. If Della Vecchia departs, the Spartans will lose a key figure in their program's resurgence. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator, Mike Mastroianni, is expected to take over as interim head coach. The Spartans' 2026 season is shaping up to be one of their most promising yet, and Della Vecchia's potential departure could have significant implications for the program's future.
