The paths of Lecce and coach Luca Gotti separate after a season characterized by ups and downs. The home draw against Empoli, which should have marked a turning point, instead represented the point of no return for the coach. The team’s management decided to end the relationship, due to the lack of results and the evident crisis in the game.
Gotti was called to replace D’Aversa last season, leading the team to a brilliant salvation. However, after 12 matchdays, Lecce has collected only 9 points and scored just 5 goals. This situation has intensified the discontent of the fans towards the team and the club, culminating in protests at the end of the match against Empoli.
The management deemed a change necessary, also considering the team’s moment of involution. Gotti resigned after having faced a start to the championship marked by injuries and difficulties in scoring. In addition, the lack of a well-defined tactical identity contributed to the general dissatisfaction. The coach experimented with different modules without finding an effective solution, leading to a fracture in the relationship of trust with the management.
With the championship pause at the same time, President Sticchi and the technical area have decided to intervene. Currently, it is unclear who will take over the coaching role before the crucial trip to Venice. However, there is enough time to evaluate the candidates and reach an agreement with the new coach. Among the names circulating, that of Marco Giampaolo stands out, stopped for two years after the experience at Sampdoria. This profile seems to be appreciated by the technical area manager Corvino and could represent the beginning of a new path. The next few hours will be crucial for Lecce’s future. While Sticchi and Corvino examine the available options, fans eagerly await news on Gotti’s successor and the direction the team will take in the coming weeks.
