We have a salary of 8.5 million euros, we shouldn’t be in Serie A”
ALL BENCH CHANGES IN SERIES A
“QWhat happened on Sunday hit me a lot“. Thus begins Pantaleo’s long outburst Raven in Luca’s presentation press conference Gottiidentified by Lecce as the new coach after Roberto’s dismissal D’Aversa. A choice resulting from the results, but also from the very serious episode involving the coach, guilty of hitting Thomas Henry with a header after Lecce-Verona. Returning to talk about the episode, Corvino vigorously defended the coach: “I have known D’Aversa for 25 years and he is not violent, he is a decent person – explained the manager of Lecce’s technical area – He didn’t do what he did in his career because he is violent. I can’t take coaches with the certainty that faced with this mood, be able to keep everything inside and manage it. I can do it, having 49 years of experience, but I can’t vouch for someone who has only recently coached.”
“We are not up to our fans”
Hence Corvino’s choice to focus on Luca Gotti for raise a team in difficulty, who have won just 5 points in their last 12 games and are just one point ahead of the relegation zone. A difficult situation, defined as a “challenge” by the Salento manager: “I have known Gotti for many years – he admitted – he accepted the challenge because he believes in the team, in his work and believes in an area with a million people who have an immeasurable passion. We are not up to our fans and a lot of passion but we make enormous efforts with what the club gives us to do the best.”

“Early wages of 8.5 million, we shouldn’t be in Serie A”
Corvino then continued his outburst by talking about the criticisms made against the club, talking about the work and budget available to Lecce: “No one asked me to win, we went to Serie A as first and for 66 games we have been safe without ever having been in the last three places of the table. These coaches work with a mood that if they lose two games they have to leave. We work as if we had a salary of 40-50 million euros, in reality it is 8.5 million euros. We shouldn’t be in Serie A with this salary, but we are proud to be there. We have never carried out passive purchasing campaigns: this is the best for our company.”
