THE OTHER DISMISSAL. Lecce focuses on Giampaolo. Corvino: "We need a field man"

All the clues point to the name of Marco Giampaolo for the Lecce bench, after the dismissal of Luca Gotti. "But we will name him when we have the agreements signed", Pantaleo Corvino, sports director of the Apulians, cuts short.

"The decision to fire is always painful. It is a technical choice, the result of evaluations on the team's trend at the start of this championship, always made in the interest of the club", said president Saverio Sticchi Damiani yesterday morning. "The team is in a difficult position in the standings, we have one of the worst defenses and the worst attack. However, the situation is not compromised, because we are one point away from safety, but we have decided to try to reverse the trend".

Corvino for his part draws up an identikit of the next coach: "We are looking for a person on the pitch like us, but it will not be easy to go back on the same path, and we cannot afford to get confused. I am looking for a coach who can give me answers, and I hope to find the right one and that the choice responds to what our possibilities are".
