Lecce has chosen Marco Giampaolo. After the first positive contact between the parties, yesterday afternoon the favorable opinion arrived from Lecce’s top management: the director of the technical area Pantaleo Corvino will initiate the negotiations. The coach born in Bellinzona is animated by a great desire: to revive his footballing ideas in Serie A, which he has been missing since his dismissal at the beginning of October 2022 on the Samp bench. Negotiations will get underway today and the official announcement of Luca Gotti’s successor on the Lecce bench could already be made by this evening. There is optimism about the outcome of the negotiation, there are no economic obstacles ahead. Yet at Samp he boasted a net seasonal salary of 1.3 million. The Abruzzo coach would join the Salento club with a one-year contract worth 500 thousand euros plus a safety bonus with an option for the following year.

Yesterday morning, at the Via del Mare stadium, the club wanted to meet the press to explain the reasons for the dismissal of Luca Gotti, who paid for the continuous experiments in these first 12 days of the championship without being able to give an identity to his team. “The choice is the result of technical evaluations and was painful on a human level – commented the president Saverio Sticchi Damiani, supported by Corvino and the sporting director Stefano Trinchera -. We made the choice all together in the company and I communicated the decision to Gotti. It is right for a company to appear united and united in these moments.” Thanks also arrived for Gotti from the number one of the Salento club: “I thank the coach and his staff for the work done. I consider him a great architect of last year’s salvation. It is not a topic linked only to the league table moment but they are analyzes referring to tactical situations, in relation to which it was decided to try to reverse the trend”.

Giampaolo will therefore be Gotti’s successor, even if yesterday morning Corvino avoided naming names. But he outlined the profile of the new coach. “I told the president that there are moments in which a bit of ignorance is needed – declared the expert manager from Salento -. Every historical moment has its own logic. Trinchera and I are field men. For three years the path we have track has brought us successes. I told the president that I would like a person on the field. We must take a path common to everyone, otherwise we will get confused.
