Lecce, Baroni slams the door: here’s why

The paths of Marco Baroni and Lecce are parting. The Giallorossi club and the Florentine coach have not reached an agreement on the renewal of his contract, which expires next June 30.

Baroni, who led the Salentini to safety this season, was asking for two more years on his contract with a salary increase, while the club stopped at one. Sky reports.

Lecce will now look for a new coach (no papable names are circulating at the moment), while Baroni could start again with Spezia in Serie B, although there are no agreements at the moment.

“Following the meetings held between the club and coach Marco Baroni and his agent, it is announced that the parties have not reached an agreement to continue the contractual relationship expiring next June 30.”

U.S. Lecce’s proposal to continue the relationship for another year with an increase in the economic part in favor of the coach and his staff was not accepted. After two extraordinary years, during which promotion to Serie A and salvation in the top flight was achieved, the relationship between U.S. Lecce and Marco Baroni closes with great serenity.”

“To the coach and his staff a big thank you for the commitment and professionalism shown in this successful two-year period.”
