Eugenio Corini has arrived to take over as the new coach of Lecce, with Fabio Liverani heading to Parma, but Roberto D’Aversa is no longer certain for the Genoa job.
There is a managerial merry-go-round in action during pre-season, which will be shorter than usual due to the extended campaign.
Lecce fired Liverani earlier this week, despite the fact he took them to a double promotion from Serie C to the top flight, only narrowly missing out on safety.
Eugenio Corini has arrived to take over as the new coach of Lecce, with Fabio Liverani heading to Parma, but Roberto D’Aversa is no longer certain for the Genoa job.
There is a managerial merry-go-round in action during pre-season, which will be shorter than usual due to the extended campaign.
Lecce fired Liverani earlier this week, despite the fact he took them to a double promotion from Serie C to the top flight, only narrowly missing out on safety.
He has been replaced by former Brescia boss Corini, who arrived today and posed with the Lecce scarf.
“I am happy to become the Lecce coach and am super-motivated,” he told reporters ahead of signing the three-year contract.
Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia are confident Liverani already has another role lined up, replacing D’Aversa at Parma.
It remains to be seen whether that split with D’Aversa is a sacking or by mutual consent, but probably the latter, as they don’t wish to part on bad terms after promotion from Serie C.
While it had been assumed D’Aversa would take the Genoa job, Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà warns that is not necessarily still the case.
The coach may well take some time to reflect first, while Genoa’s first choice – Vincenzo Italiano – will not be released by newly-promoted Spezia.
Another candidate for Genoa could therefore be ex-Chievo and Cagliari boss Rolando Maran.
