Messina Part Ways (Or Are About to Do So) With Giordano
By: Martha | January 30th, 2007
According to the official UEFA website this morning, Messina coach Bruno Giordano has been canned, and the club are set to replace him with Alberto Cavasin. The last anyone in Italy has heard, though, is evidently that Giodano is on shaky ground and likely to go. Either way, things don’t look good, and there will be probably some sort of “It’s his fault we suck so he’s gone” announcement from the club later today.
All of this, mind you, is happening in spite of the fact that club president Pietro Franza reportedly called Giordano yesterday to assure him that, after much consideration, his job was safe. (Ah, the dreaded vote of confidence.) Now, just 24 hours later, the guy is gone — wonder if the cops being called when the training ground was invaded by supporters yesterday had anything to do with the change of plan. Whatever the reason for Franza’s abrupt about-face, I think the lesson to struggling teams is clear: Lose to Ascoli and your gaffer is gone.
