Cagliari's next match against Crotone with a new coach and a new Ds: after the home defeat against Turin, president Tommaso Giulini immediately started looking for the match that could try to reach salvation.
It is not yet official, but the sporting director will almost certainly be Stefano Capozucca, already at work with Cagliari from 2015 to 2017. As for the coach, the favorite is Leonardo Semplici, former Spal coach, so far in Sardinia only with the jersey of Sorso in the 1988-89 championship.
For Eusebio Di Francesco a rossoblù adventure at the end of the line: he leaves the team in third from last place (but Parma still have to play).
Fatal for the former coach of Rome and Sampdoria the third consecutive defeat and above all the meager spoils of a point in the last ten matches.
Just in recent weeks Giulini had surprisingly confirmed the technician and extended the contract.
But, faced with the latest defeat, the president had to change his strategy.
And now, to snatch a difficult salvation, he seems determined to focus on the "fresh air" effect.
The ds Pierluigi Carta also sacrificed, but he should still remain in company with other duties.
All for the moment still unofficial: after the knockout with the grenades, the rossoblù club ordered a press blackout.
Yesterday the atmosphere was anything but calm with Simeone in tears at the end of the race and Nainggolan not exactly happy at the time of the change.
Then the inevitable decision still to be communicated to the fans: we start from scratch.
