Lecce is in ongoing negotiations with Marco Giampaolo to become their new head coach following the dismissal of Luca Gotti. The club officially announced Gotti’s departure after a disappointing draw against Empoli, which left the team in a precarious position near the bottom of the Serie A table.
In an official statement, Lecce thanked Gotti for his professional service and dedication during his tenure, wishing him the best for his future endeavors. The club’s decision came after a series of poor results, with Lecce currently sitting third from bottom in the league standings.
Sky Sport report that Giampaolo has emerged as the frontrunner to take over the vacant position. Discussions between the experienced coach and Lecce have intensified in recent hours, indicating that both parties are working towards finalizing an agreement. The club sees Giampaolo as the ideal candidate to guide the team away from the relegation zone and salvage their Serie A status.
Lecce’s recent form has been a cause for concern, with just one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five league matches. The team has accumulated only 9 points so far this season, albeit with a game in hand compared to some of their rivals.
