What Cesena didn’t think could happen actually happened, because Roberto D’Aversa will not be the next coach of the Romagna team, now orphaned by Mimmo Toscano (not yet made official, but close to Catania). This because Empoli entered the negotiations with the former Lecce, and, thanks to the category, obtained the yes of the aforementioned D’Aversa: to give the news, Sky Sports.
Which also talks about the extremes of contract between the Tuscan club and the coach, annual plus option. Same solution that Cesena had proposed; the difference, we reiterate, was made by Serie A which Empoli was able to offer more than its direct competitor. Now it seems we just have to wait for the official announcement, then the work will start again for the construction of the squad to be made available to the coach.
D’Aversa will therefore start again from the top flight, after the experience with Lecce which ended with his dismissal on March 11th, after the home defeat against Hellas Verona, which left the Salento group in fifteenth place in the standings, with only one one point margin from the relegation zone. A match, the one against the Scaligeri, cost the coach doubly dear, as he was sent off at the end of the match for headbutting the opposing player Thomas Henry.
