To the corporate situation already critical, there is another strong earthquake shock in the Messina house. The club in fact exonerated the coach Simone Banchieri. Arrived on the Riva alla Stretto on 23 January after the resignation of Giacomo Modicawas removed with a company press release: “The decision was made in view of the last two decisive Messina matches in a play-out key. The club thanks Banchieri and his staff for the work done with dedication, in recent months, and wishes them the best from a professional point of view”.
The official arrived late in the evening, probably as a physiological consequence of a close comparison held in the morning at the “Franco Scoglio” stadium between the team, the technical staff and the management. No training, after the latest negative events related to the non -payment of salaries and receipts, but a very long and heated face to face staged in the stadium press room, from which evidently did not come out with the resolution of the problems.
Something has crossed in an internal level, with a large part of the locker room which, from what was filtered, no longer liked the presence of the Piedmontese trainer, so much so as to reach the shock decision taken from what remains of the management. Aimed at keeping that bit of hope alive in the common good of safeguarding the category.
A relevant blow a few days after the challenge that can be decisive against the Foggiacrucial to remain glued to the playout train. Where on the bench he will sit Antonio Gattocurrent second coach. But even more will ask the group’s “veterans”, struggling with a very delicate situation as a whole and which seems to reserve surprises every day.
