Serie A: Udinese Sacks Isaac Success' Coach

Serie A: Udinese Sacks Isaac Success' Coach Omolagba Oluwayemi As reported by Football Italia, Udinese coach of Isaac Success, Luca Gotti has been officially axed from his position with his assistant Gabriele Cioffi promoted as interim manager BSNSports.com.ng reports. According to Sky Sport Italia, Gotti and Cioffi were called into the club headquarters this evening for a meeting with club patron Gino Pozzo. A statement was released tonight confirming Gotti had been sacked and Cioffi would take over on an interim basis for this weekend’s Serie A game. There are several options for a more permanent position, including ex-Granada boss Paco Jemez and former Cagliari coach Rolando Maran. Gotti had spent almost his entire career as an assistant manager, a position he insisted that he much preferred to the pressures of being a head coach. That included a spell at Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri in 2018-19. He was also the assistant manager to Igor Tudor at Udinese when promoted on an interim basis on November 1, 2019. The idea had been to remain there until the club found a permanent solution, but Udinese convinced him to remain and he signed a new contract this summer until June 2022. Udinese’s poor start to the season proved decisive, managing four wins, seven draws and six defeats between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
