Official – Skip the second bench in Serie B: Empoli relieves Cristian Bucchi

On the night between Monday and Tuesday the final decision arrived, but the statement came a few minutes ago: Empoli has chosen to exempt Cristian Bucchi for the poor performance of the last matches. The Tuscans, who are aiming to return immediately to Serie A, are just three points behind in the last six days of the cadet championship, so president Corsi has chosen to take advantage of the November break to relieve the former Sassuolo and Benevento ( the Azzurri play about halfway up the table, just outside the playoff zone, which would be a minimum goal). It is the second bench that jumps into Serie B, after that of Massimo Rastelli at the Cremonese (Marco Baroni was chosen for his post).

Who in place of Bucchi? Many names have been made, from Davide Nicola to Moreno Longo and Roberto Stellone. But Corsi, after the bet he had won with Andreazzoli two years ago, would have chosen Roberto Muzzi, which however must be freed from Genoa, being a collaborator of Thiago Motta.

Here is the release:

"Empoli FC announces that it has relieved Cristian Bucchi and his collaborators of technical responsibility of the First Team. Empoli FC gives the technician and his staff the most sincere and sincere thanks for the work done and wishes them the best fortunes for the sporting and professional future. It is also announced that today's training session will be led by Primavera coach Antonio Busce ”.
