Spezia market, Roberto Donadoni goes down flat: "The club knows what is needed"

Roberto Donadoni is not giving up. His Spezia side is mired in the relegation zone in Serie B, and the defeat in Frosinone has further complicated the Ligurians’ plans. January, however, is near, and the coach from Cisano Bergamasco said he already agrees with the club to reinforce the team. The parties would already agree on the most uncovered roles that will have to be the focus of the buying campaign. No revolutions, however: the belief is that the group needs only a few as targeted interventions. As long as we move quickly, effectively and, above all, intelligently.

“On the market we have clear ideas – Donadoni assured in the press conference he attended in Frosinone after his Spezia team’s new defeat -We have already identified the nerve points where it is necessary for the club to intervene. I saw the president quite agreeing with me. I hope that at this point he will intervene as soon as possible. I have been here for six games and I have never seen one team prevail over another in a clear-cut manner. In this Serie B the leveling is great. So the difference is in the details. We have to close a gap that in my view is anything but colossal”.

In other words, Donadoni does not dislike his Spezia. “Against Frosinone, the performance there’was there, but we need a bit of competitive nastiness that is lacking at the moment – is his analysis -. However, I prefer to look at the glass half full, because we faced a really tough team. The episodes of the first and second goals, with their restarts, are emblematic. And we don&#8217t have the luxury of not taking advantage of corner kicks. We lack the right nastiness, when you don&#8217t have it then you get punished. And that is exactly what happened to us on the field. In matches like that you cannot give anything away”.

“Frosinone has two or three players who are really strong, otherwise they take the field with great agonism. When you face him, you have to sweat every millimeter – noted Donadoni -. Spezia should do the same thing, we have to file down our flaws and in the next game we can”t do anything wrong.

Roberto Donadoni arrived at Spezia in November, taking over from Luca D’Angelo. A former coach of the Italian national team between 2006 and 2008 (he led the Azzurri in the unsuccessful 2008 European Championship adventure), he had been inactive since 2020 when he parted ways with Shenzhen. Last previous experience in Italy at Bologna, in Serie A, in 2018. He signed a contract with the via Melara club until June 30, 2026.
