Di Marzio says Verona are about to sack Di Francesco.
It didn't take long :lol:

They should have never hired him in the first place. At least they realised their mistake a lot sooner than Cagliari. What a disaster his career has been ever since he was fired by Roma.

This has been an argument for a very long time so i will just paraphrase something Jose has said. If you can play beautiful football AND win, that's perfection. But if you have to choose between beautiful football and win, then you always choose win no matter the style.
But it is that simple. People forget that coaches are the ones to blame if teams don't win and will get sacked.

Im coaching a youth team and I couldn't care less how we win the games as long as we win. Of course we are training our build-up and possession game but if that don't work out on saturday I only want to win and if needed I will sub a attacker for a defender. Football is a to complex sport to only want to play beautiful football.

It's about the end result, not the road who leads to that result.

If we can make some long run in CL with more pleasant football I also won't be disappointed if we do. not win the scudetto this year.

Cagliari have also fired their coach, Semplici. His replacement is expected to be Mazzarri.

Does that seem quick to you as he and his staff saved them from relegation? Just curious as not familiar with how they usually do things as yall are

Welcome to Serie A. It's definitely too quick and when Giulini realises the problem is the squad and not the coach it's gonna be a wake up call for him. But when things aren't going well the easy choice for Italian teams, especially the ones of bottom half, is firing the coach. There's zero patience with coaches in Italy.

Somebody asked about the speed of the managerial merry go round in Italy? Maurizio Zamparini was a club owner in Serie A for 20+ years. Enough said.

Sassuolo - Torino is fun so far.
Looks like Torino begins to click with Ivan Juric, dangerous at wide attack.

I just learned that Tammy Abraham has a brother called Timmy...

Coulnd't make this up.

according to Wikipedia his full name is Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham and his brother is Jason Timiebi Ogheneobrucheme Bakumo-Abraham.
So they have literally three names and they still prefer to be called Tammy and Timmy. Strange.

Holy smokes, Atalanta is having a rough start to the season 0-0 at the half.
