The 21-year-old has always admired some famous Italian tacticians of the past and is taking the first moves towards a possible future career on the touchline, while continuing his playing education with Neil Wood's side.
Ahead of Sunday's derby game at Leigh Sports Village (13:00 GMT kick-off), Luca explained he took on the challenge after advice from Kieran McKenna and assistance from Chris McCready, from Academy player care, while recovering from the injury that kept him out for a long period last season.
“As soon as I started my rehab, one of my first thoughts was to think about anything that could keep me motivated and busy throughout the day,” he explained to us.
