Only the official confirmation is missing: the coach is paying for the bad start to the season without any wins and with just 6 points after 9 matchdays.
UDINE – Andrea Sottil is heading towards dismissal from Udinese’s bench. The home draw against Lecce and only six points, without any victories, in their first 9 matches of the season has proved now fatal.
More broadly, the coach from Venaria Reale is paying the price for a consistently challenging journey, with only 5 wins in the last 39 Serie A matches between the previous and the current season. The club, which had confirmed him during the international break, according to ANSA has reportedly decided for a mid-season change after a night of reflection.
EX Cioffi ready to take over
The replacement is Gabriele Cioffi, who previously led the Friulian club during the 2021/22 season as a replacement for then-head coach Luca Gotti, for whom he served as an assistant. Cioffi was under contract with Verona until June and is reportedly in the process of being released from that contract.
Official confirmation is expected shortly. The conclusion of the collaboration with Sottil was revealed by the director of Udinese TV, Michele Criscitiello, who announced the shift in the club’s direction on his social media channels.
