Massimiliano Alvini’s hours are numbered: former Cagliari man on the launch pad

Davide Ballardini is in pole position to replace Alvini on Cremonese’s bench

7 points in the standings. -8 ( and with one more race) from the fourth last place. Zero wins in the league. Cremonese’s league roster is literally nightmarish. After yet another false step – on Saturday afternoon came the home defeat against Monza – the position of coach Massimiliano Alvini has become gradually more dangerous.

Already questioned before the long World Cup break, the former Perugia coach has not collected a single point in the three January outings, losing – in addition to Juve, in a comuque well played match – also against two direct rivals in the salvation race such as Hellas Verona and Monza itself.

The defeat at the ‘Zini’, which came after a nightmarish first half, could thus be fatal to the coach, who, according to the latest rumors gathered, would be one step away from being exonerated. The name in pole position for the replacement is that of Davide Ballardini, former coach – among others – of Cagliari and Genoa, ready for the new impossible salvation challenge of his career.
