Skip first minor league bench

Stepping the first bench in Serie B, Alessio Dionisi is ready to return to sit on Empoli’s bench. The Tuscan club has decided to end the experience with Guido Pagliuca and hand the team back to one of the most appreciated coaches of recent years.

Taking advantage of the break for national teams, the club took stock of the situation and noted a lack of harmony between the coach and the group, a problem that negatively affected performance.

Pagliuca, chosen in the summer to lead a young and ambitious project after relegation, has failed to grow the new staff as hoped.

Faced with this stalemate, the management decided to turn over a new leaf and bet again on Dionisi, who had already led Empoli to Serie A in 2021 and who in these hours is freeing himself from Palermo, leaving behind an unsatisfactory experience, both for himself and for the rosanero.
