Le Streghe, already relegated to Serie B, are already planning a promotion challenge as they seek an immediate return to the top-flight.

Uncertainty continues to surround the future of current boss Roberto De Zerbi, despite the 38-year-old having presided over significant improvement during the second half of the season.

Le Streghe, already relegated to Serie B, are already planning a promotion challenge as they seek an immediate return to the top-flight.

Uncertainty continues to surround the future of current boss Roberto De Zerbi, despite the 38-year-old having presided over significant improvement during the second half of the season.

Ivan Juric remains the favourite to start the new campaign in the Giallorossi dugout, with the former Genoa tactician having already met with Benevento officials.

However, Gazzamercato reports that Nicola’s name is also in the frame to potentially succeed De Zerbi.

The 45-year-old has been out of work since leaving Crotone earlier this season.

Last year, he famously led the Pitagorici to a miraculous escape from relegation – before fulfilling his promise to cycle the 1300km from Crotone to his home town of Turin if his team stayed up.
