Bari doesn’t even win with Giampaolo: 1-1 with Pisa, salvation remains at risk

Bari doesn’t even win with Federico Giampaolo. In his first match on the Apulian bench, the coach won a point, at home against Pisa. Which is something anyway. A little step forward. The ranking remains very dangerous. After going behind in the third minute due to Calabresi’s goal, the Bari team restored parity in the 60th minute thanks to a penalty converted by Puscas. The VAR took a long time to confirm the penalty awarded by Calabresi himself for a handball. Moments of tension also between the two benches which forced the race director Pezzutto.

Bari still embroiled in the fight for salvation. He finds himself in sixteenth place with 36 points. In twelfth place is Modena with 40 points, second to last is Feralpisalò with 31 points. Eight teams gathered in nine points with four days to go. Today they would make the play-outs with Spezia who are at 35. Ascoli, eighteenth, are at 34. The next match will be the salvation play-off with Cosenza, then they will go to Parma, Cittadella and finally host Brescia.

Bari, Federico Giampaolo is the new coach: he plays with the 4-3-3

Bari has chosen Federico Giampaolo as its new coach ahead of the final days of the championship. He is the fourth to take over on the Apulian bench, after Iachini, Mignani and Marino. Since the summer of 2022 he has been the coach of Bari’s Primavera.

Younger brother of Marco Giampaolowrites Gianluca di Marzio, it will be his first experience on a Serie B bench. In his career so far he has only had opportunities as head coach between Serie D and Eccellenza, as his experiences at the helm of Valle d’Aostee, Avezzano, Recanatese and L’Aquila tell us. He also touched the C fields, with a year as Luca D’Angelo’s assistant on the bench of Fidelis Andria 2015/16 in C. The 4-3-3 and 4-3-1-2 are the formations he often alternated in the youth sector. Pressure research and vertical kick are the starting ideas. Schemes and concepts often adopted as a reference also by his brother Marco, to whom he is linked by a relationship of continuous comparison and great esteem.

The De Laurentiis worthy heirs of Zamparini: seven coaches for the disasters of Naples and Bari (Il Messaggero)

The De Laurentiis worthy heirs of Zamparini: seven coaches for the disasters in Naples and Bari. The newspaper Il Messaggero writes about it regarding the raid of coaches made by De Laurentiis father and son for the two owned teams. Il Messaggero writes:

The two of them hired seven coaches in just over eight months, fired five and now hope that Calzona (Naples) and Federico Giampaolo (Bari) will at least be able to reach the minimum objectives, Europe and salvation. Renzo Ulivieri, president of the Assoallenatori, should create a monument to Aurelio and Luigi De Laurentiis (father and son), who at least for one season followed the path that identified the never too much lamented Maurizio Zamparini: the barrage of dismissals, in an attempt to change history. But for now it has gone badly, both on one side and the other: Bari even fell from the play-off zone into the play-out zone, with the risk of ending up in Serie B after having been one step away from Serie A. .

Regarding Bari and the arrival of Iachini (later sacked) Il Messaggero writes:

From 6 February to 15 April, Bari continued its descent and when the red light of danger came on (two points in the last eight matchdays), here was the fourth coach, promoted from the Primavera. This is Federico Giampaolo, Marco’s brother, expert in youth and now with the burden of avoiding the team from a relegation that would be sensational. From A (just touched) to C in less than a year: it would be too much for an ambitious family like that of the De Laurentiis.
