Serie B enters its final weekend pause of the year with five clubs having already changed their technical leadership, according to a report by Padova Sport.
The mid-season break offers a natural checkpoint for clubs to evaluate summer recruitment and current standings. While several teams sit comfortably or exceed pre-season expectations, others face mounting pressure on their benches.
Padova Sport outlined a five-point risk scale for every head coach in the division, ranging from a score of one for secure benches up to five for high-risk situations.
Solid ratings of one apply to Filippo Inzaghi at Palermo, Galloppa at Modena, Tomei at Ascoli, and Modesto at Mantova. Similar stability surrounds Nesta at Avellino, Floro Flores at Benevento, Bianco at Pisa, Pecchia at Cremonese, and Possanzini at Südtirol.
Further down the secure tier, De Giorgio at Juve Stabia, D’Angelo at Sampdoria, Pagliuca at Carrarese, and Mignani at Catanzaro maintain their positions.
Baroni at Verona sits at a risk score of two following initial early-season doubts, though the squad is currently showing signs of recovery. Calabro at Padova and Diamanti at Cesena also hold a score of two, with recent points haul helping stabilize both managers.
A score of three indicates heightened observation for Bucchi at Arezzo, Chiappella at Virtus Entella, and Andreoletti at Empoli as all three sides struggle with difficult form.
Gallo at Vicenza reaches a risk score of four, with evaluations actively underway and the manager operating under a temporary vote of confidence from the club hierarchy.
