The negative season of the De Laurentiis family shows no signs of ending, even today another bad news arrives.
A season to forget for the family De Laurentiis and in particular for owned clubs, i.e. the Naples and the Bari. As reigning Italian champions, the Azzurri have practically never managed to defend the title they won last year, but they have missed many opportunities to stay in the running for qualification for the next Champions League, also changing three coaches during the course of the season. vintage.
The true masterpiece on the contrary, however, is the one created in Bari, where today a real nightmare is materializing. After coming close to promotion to Serie A in the playoffs last season, which was lost in the last minute due to a goal by Pavoletti against Cagliari, the red and whites today seriously risk relegation to Serie C. This afternoon the cockerels fell disastrously for 4-1 against the Cosenza. The goals were scored by Mazzocchi and the former Napoli player, Gennaro Tutino. For Bari it was Nasti who shortened the result before the end of the first half. In the second half the Calabrians legitimized the result thanks to the seals of Calò and Forte, with Bari also finishing the match with 10 men due to the expulsion of Bellomo.
Heavy defeat for Bari, the other De Laurentiis family club risks relegation to Serie C
The standings have now become truly frightening: with this defeat and the draw for Spezia, Bari slips to 18th place which means direct relegation to Serie C. They have not won a victory since February 17th and only three points have been collected in the last ten games (three draws and seven defeats). The hopes of reaching salvation, however, still remain intact: the play-out zone is only one point away, as is 15th place which is worth direct salvation.
In the last three championship matches a decisive change of trend will be needed, among other things with a difficult calendar for Bari. The red and whites will have to face the Parma leaders and the Brescia currently 7th in the standings, plus there is the away match with Citadel to play. However, the Galletti will be able to count on the support of their fans by having to play two of these last three matches at home at the San Nicola Stadium.
Bari’s year was truly troubled, with even four changes of coach on the bench. The last choice fell on Federico Giampaoloformer coach of the red and white Primavera who took over from Giuseppe Iachini. A choice that left many doubts.
