Today’s edition of Tuttosport focuses on the day’s negotiations in Serie B.
Fabio Big, as announced in recent days, he is the new coach of Sassuolo, he has signed for a two-year contract with the option for a third season. The hero of the 2006 World Cup returns to Serie B after his unhappy experience at Olypique Lyon, where all sorts of things happened to him: he remained in charge of the French club (with whom he had also played as a player) from 19 September until to November 30th. On 29 October, during the heartfelt match in Marseille, a stone thrown at the team bus shattered a glass which seriously injured his face.
Now Grosso returns to the Serie B which gave him the greatest satisfaction as a coach, perhaps the only one, the promotion to Serie A, 13 months ago, with Frosinone. Now the stimulating challenge of relaunching Sassuolo, it will not be easy to re-establish and give an identity to the Emilians, after the last disastrous Serie A championship. Among other things, Grosso will have to try to relaunch the Uruguayan striker Agustin Alvarez, 23 years old who has reached Sassuolo two seasons ago, stopped by a bad injury, returned to the field in January with the Samp shirt, from which he will return, after having exhausted his loan. Spezia, we are moving towards the reconfirmation of Luca D’Angelo on the bench but at the moment the focus is above all on giving the team that first striker of a certain weight which was sorely lacking last season: the choice is between Filippo Pittarello, 27 years old, already asked in January at Cittadella (6 goals in the last season), Edoardo Soleri, 26 years old, precious reserve striker of Palermo (also 6 goals) and Gabriele Artistico, 21 years old, 12 goals in the last season in C at Virtus Francavilla .
