Palermo starts again with Dionisi as coach and De Sanctis as director to relaunch its ambitions of promotion to Serie A after a disappointing year.
Today’s edition of Tuttosport takes stock of the technical-managerial revolution at Palermo, with the imminent official announcement and associated installation of Alessio Dionisi as new coach and Morgan De Sanctis as sporting director. They say goodbye to Mignani and Rinaudo, the same fate for many players who seriously disappointed expectations in the recently concluded Serie B championship. A clean sweep and two profiles with an established background to archive a less than exciting page and try to write a present and a future in line with the ambitions revealed by the ownership. The Noto sports newspaper places emphasis on the contractual aspect which gives the measure of the planning around two profiles who have already operated in Serie A in their respective roles: two-year contract for both with the option for a possible third year which should concern Alessio Dionisi . The former coach of Empoli and Sassuolo was convinced by the size, caliber and scope of the City Football Group project in perspective, he will be the one to provide the indications on an exquisitely technical-tactical level regarding the characteristics of the profiles to be inserted into a squad which can already count on a decent hard core. Bigon and De Sanctis will enjoy a very significant budget in the transfer market, higher than last year’s, in order to set up a squad capable of competing for direct promotion to the top flight. The thorny Brunori issue will be the first hot potato for the new sporting director of Palermo FC: mend the rift with the apiazza and continue to focus on the goals of the Italian-Brazilian striker, or indulge his immediate aspirations of landing in Serie A by monetizing the transfer as best as possible of his card?
