Di Frisco stays at Calcio: coach returns after relegation!
The club management of Calcio Leinfelden-Echterdingen has made a decisive decision for the future of the relegated football league. Coach Francesco Di Frisco will remain with the club and will start his tenth season. Di Frisco, who is already considered a record-breaking coach, is a central component for the team's future development. This reports Stuttgart News.
The decision about his future came after a disappointing season in which the team slipped to second-to-last place in the table with eight defeats in the last nine games. Calcio got off to a solid start at the beginning of the season, with 8 points from the first 6 games and a temporary 6th place. The sporting difficulties became clear after the club recently suffered a narrow 2:3 defeat against SV Fellbach.
New coaching team and squad changes
Di Frisco describes Calcio as his “second home” and has decided to take a break to give the club new impetus. Despite his planned absence, the club has already been working on an interim solution. Sports director Ioannis Tsapakidis, Marijo Marinovic and Milan Jurkovic will initially act as an equal coaching team. This measure has become necessary to help the club in the current situation while the search for a long-term coach continues, reports Kicker.
In the meantime, Calcio Leinfelden-Echterdingen has also signed new players. Three new additions are intended to strengthen the team in order to avert the threat of relegation and get the season back on track. However, the return of long-time defense chief Zagaria remains uncertain, which could influence the defensive strategy of the new coaching team.
Outlook for upcoming challenges
The next big challenge awaits on Saturday when Calcio has to play against VfR Aalen, who were relegated from the Regionalliga. This game will be of great importance for both the team and the newly formed coaching staff in order to turn the season around and regain the trust of the fans. The mood in the club and among the supporters remains tense, but there is hope for a positive turnaround in the next game.
