Cremonese, Ballardini’s dismissal brings us back to that of Mandorlini
The dismissal after a draw away from home, when nothing was suspected. Ballardini’s departure recalls that of Mandorlini
If as timing the dismissal of Davide Ballardini at the Cremonese it is very reminiscent of Oscar Brevi’s one in 2012 (then the championship days before the removal were 4 and not 5 like this year), due to the type of context it can be associated with that of Andrea Mandorlinidated 2018. Mandorlini saved Cremo in the previous cadet championship, was confirmed in the grey-red and then being sacked after just 10 games, in which he scored 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. In short, proportionately corresponds to the current situation: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
SIMILAR SITUATIONS – The dynamics of the two exemptions are also very similar for other matters: for example, Mandorlini was also sacked two days after a good draw achieved away from home (Verona-Cremonese 1-1). And even then it was a surprising decision, there was no hint of a shaky bench, although a few more points were certainly expected. The statement arrived on Sunday evening, around 9pm, leaving most people speechless. The next morning Massimo Rastelli already showed up. At the time the reasons for the choice were off-field, linked to a broken relationship between sporting director Rinaudo and Mandorlini; probably something broke between Ballardini and the company over time.
