PAVIA
Second day at the helm of Pavia for Alessandro Ruocco, the coach of the Italian junior “promoted” after the exoneration of Omar Albertini and waiting for the club to choose the new coach. Today is a day of rest for the team while at the managerial level the contacts with some eligible candidates for the succession on the blue bench will continue: today will probably be the decisive day to understand if Sunday the Pavia will face the delicate transfer of Seveso with a new technician at the reins. or whether it will be Ruocco’s turn to manage the emergency situation. But a possible new coach would take over the team only tomorrow afternoon, close to the match with Base 96 Seveso, direct opponent of Pavia with whom he shares the fifth last place at 10 points, together with Gavirate.
A delicate choice that arrives for Pavia one third of the season (10 of the 30 scheduled matches played), with the December transfer market being the last chance to intervene in the race on a lacking staff (from January only released players will be able to register). The new coach, together with the Azzurri management, will have to share the choices to complete a squad that has so far disappointed everyone’s expectations, starting with the fans. Also yesterday the president Giuseppe Nucera from Geneva kept in contact with his closest collaborators, first of all the general manager Antonio Dieni, to evaluate the possible hypotheses in these hours. An expert figure must certainly be chosen, with clear ideas on the elements to be included in the current squad of Pavia. A team that has changed a lot since last summer’s retreat in Valle d’Aosta, and repeatedly. Many players arrived and then left from August to today. Signal of an unclear line, while, instead, clarity and continuity would be needed from now on to try to reverse the negative course before it is too late. –
