Eusebio Di Francesco is heading towards the Venezia exit door and has been contacted by Cremonese and Lecce.

Di Francesco is unlikely to remain at Venezia for the 2025-26 campaign.

Sources with knowledge of the matter exclusively inform me that the former Roma boss has been approached by Lecce and the newly promoted side, Cremonese.

Pisa are another newly promoted team looking for a new coach and have held positive talks with 2006 Italy World Cup winner Alberto Gilardino.

Lecce are working behind the scenes with Di Francesco, but talks are ongoing and progressing well.

The Salentini confirmed Marco Giampaolo’s exit on Monday.
