In Serie A there has been a curious roll backwards. The Italian first division football team US Salernitana has brought back its coach Davide Nicola just two days after being kicked out. “Now we’re all starting again together,” the coach wrote on social media on Wednesday after club president Danilo Iervolino had changed his mind.
Actually, Nicola was on leave on Monday in reaction to the embarrassing 2: 8 in the championship at Atalanta Bergamo. “I have, with all my might, asked the President to reconsider my dismissal,” Nicola wrote. He was successful.
According to media reports, the southern Italian team also spoke out in favor of their coach staying on. And so they convinced Iervolino, who had already spoken to other candidates. Salernitana has not won six games in a row and is 16th in the table. However, the advantage over the relegation zone is supposedly comfortable nine points.
