Salernitana, Filippo Inzaghi the new coach after Sousa

The 50-year-old from Piacenza takes the Portuguese’s place: he brings with him his historic staff, an option is foreseen for next season in case of remaining in Serie A. The position of Ribery, former collaborator of Nicola and Sousa, needs to be evaluated

Pippo Inzaghi returns to Serie A with a difficult but certainly not impossible mission: to achieve salvation with Salernitana. His motivations made the difference and won over the president of the Campania club Danilo Iervolino during the dinner on Monday evening consumed in an elegant restaurant in Milan together with the CEO Maurizio Milan and the sporting director Morgan De Sanctis who, with Inzaghi, he shared as a footballer experiences with Juventus and in blue. Salernitana has said goodbye to Paulo Sousa and is ready to welcome the new coach who inherits a team in penultimate place in the standings with only three points, without victories after eight days of the championship and quite a few problems to solve even within one The locker room has seemed quite agitated in recent weeks.

historic staff

Tomorrow morning Superpippo will arrive in the city, time for the presentation to the press and then immediately on the pitch with his new group, albeit incomplete due to the absence of many national players. For the adventure on the Granata bench Inzaghi asked for and obtained the chance to have at his side the historic staff that has accompanied him for years, the second Maurizio D’Angelo, the athletic trainer Luca Alimonta, the match analyst Simone Baggio and the athletic trainer Daniele Cominotti. In Campania he will find an old teammate in black and white, Michelangelo Rampulla, who will be part of his working group. The position of Franck Ribery, technical collaborator of both Nicola and Sousa in recent months, must be evaluated. Salernitana asked Inzaghi to make a change in results which inevitably also involves resolving the tactical problems highlighted by the team in this first part of the season. The new coach, who returns to Serie A after his experiences with Milan, Bologna and Benevento, could also focus on 4-3-3 to fully exploit the offensive qualities of Boulaye Dia (only one goal so far) as well as relaunching players who have ended up on margins in recent weeks like Bronn and Fazio. For Inzaghi, agreement until June with option to renew in case of salvation.
