Pisa, everything changes: exonerated Alberto Gilardino, two in the running for replacement

In a terse statement, Pisa announced the separation from its coach. “Pisa Sporting Club informs that it has communicated to Alberto Gilardino the will, humanly and professionally suffered, to change the technical guidance of the First Team – we read there -. To Alberto and all the members of his staff, the truest thanks for what they have been able to give in recent months to the Club, the team and the Nerazzurri” fans.

The Tuscan club also reported that it will announce the name of the new technical manager of the first team in the coming hours. Fatal to the coach from Piedmont was the home defeat to Sassuolo, a team coached by another 2006 world champion, Fabio Grosso.

The neroverdi triumphed with a convincing 3-1 win that means tenth place and hooking Udinese in the standings (pending the challenge between the Friulians and Roma scheduled for Monday). Domenico Berardi unlocked the match on 25′, then Caracciolo’s own goal allowed Fabio Grosso&#8217s team to go to halftime up 2-0. In the second half, Aebischer shortened the gap but Koné at 58′ scored the final 3-1.

Until Berardi’s goal, Pisa tried in every way to make itself dangerous but Gilardino’s forwards (today in the stands due to disqualification in what was his last match at the helm of the Nerazzurri) sinned in precision and were punished by the neroverde number 10, making his return to the field from the first minute after his injury in November. Berardi himself propitiated Caracciolo’s goal with a tricky cross that found the clumsy deflection of the Pisa captain.

The home team also started strong in the second half and managed to shorten the gap thanks to Aebischer, just over five minutes later, however, came Sassuolo’s tris thanks to Koné. Pisa’s final assault failed to have the effect hoped for by the Nerazzurri fans.

For Pisa, the situation in the standings is increasingly worrying: the team is last in the standings with 14 points won in the first 23 games and the specter of relegation is increasingly real. It will most likely be one between Marco Giampaolo and Roberto D’Aversa to try to turn things around.
