“I spoke clearly to Pescara. I wanted to renew, but also left a window open in case an exciting offer came along – and it did.
“Lecce wanted me, chose me and this made me very proud and determined in my decision.”
He replaces Gigi De Canio, who resigned after rescuing the Salentini from relegation.
“I had already wanted Leandro Greco with me at Pescara, as he works very well in the 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 I intend to use at Lecce. He has technique and can play anywhere.”
