Lecce, Gotti sacked after the draw with Empoli. Three names for the bench

Lecce, November 9, 2024 - The Lecce broke the ice. The home draw against Empoli last night (Friday, November 8) convinced the company that it was time to change something. And so, here it is, the transformation from possibility to realityexemption di Luca gotti, who leaves the Salento team after having earned 9 points in 12 games, the result of a run of two wins, three draws and seven defeats (the worst figure of the championship, together with Venezia, who have one game less), with only five goals scored (no one in Serie A has such a sterile attack) and 21 conceded. Yet the Giallorossi are tied with Parma and Genoa in fifth-last place. The former Udinese coach ends his experience on the bench of the Apulians after being called by the club last March to take the place of Roberto D'Aversa.
