The shadows are gathering around Massimiliano Alvini. The Tuscan coach has already been questioned by the owners after the home draw with Mantua. The defeat against Cremonese worsened his position in the eyes of the club’s leaders. Guarascio is a regular at changing coaches. Cosenza in these years of Serie B but not only has changed almost punctually in an attempt to reverse course and remedy a complicated ranking.
The Cittadella could cause the definitive tear in the Fucecchio coach’s bench next Saturday, unless his position immediately deteriorates in the next few hours of reflection.
Alvini, meanwhile, did not appear at the press conference at the end of the match yesterday. A decision by the company which opted to keep mum, as frequently happens at this latitude.
Cosenza is struggling. Once again. And the coach ends up in the dock. A destiny that has already united Braglia, Occhiuzzi, Zaffaroni, Dionigi and Caserta.
In Cremona, the Wolves confirmed that they did not have enough resources to hold on until the ninetieth minute. The substitutions didn’t help to maintain the 1-1 draw but Ricciardi’s expulsion also gave a good boost to the chances of resisting. The Roman winger left Cosenza with ten men. It was the sixth expulsion in order of time, the fifth to have forced the rossoblù to concede a man to their opponents for at least half an hour. Previously it was Venturi, Hristov, Florenzi and Caporale who had fallen into the same trap. If you add that of Kouan at the end of the match against Cesena, it becomes four red cards in the last six games.
The winless streak is also merciless: the Sila team haven’t won since November 9th (2-3 against Brescia) and finished without conceding a goal for the last time at the end of October (0-1 against Reggiana). Cittadella is a final. Equally important will also be the matches against Sampdoria and Carrarese and then all the others.
The results achieved have at least helped to keep hope alive. Direct salvation is six points away. The playoffs remained at three points. The market can lend a hand to cover the limits that are emerging with ever greater intensity week after week.
