Salernitana, a Serie A team struggling to find form, has once again parted ways with coach Davide Nicola, marking the second time in just one month.
The club, which is only four points above the relegation zone, officially announced Nicola’s dismissal through a statement published on their website.
“U.S. Salernitana 1919 announces that it has relieved Mr. Davide Nicola of his duties as First Team coach.”
In mid-January, Salernitana had initially announced Nicola’s departure following an 8-2 defeat against Atalanta Bergamo. However, the club’s owner, Danilo Iervolino, subsequently reversed the decision and granted the coach a reprieve, considering his unexpected success in keeping the club afloat last season.
Following their 1-0 loss to Verona on Monday, the club made the decision to terminate Nicola’s contract.
Salernitana swiftly shared images of Paulo Sousa leading the team’s training session earlier on the same day.
“U.S. Salernitana 1919 announces that it has reached an agreement with Mr. Paulo Sousa and entrusted him with the technical guidance of the first team,” read a statement.
