Lecce hopes to be able to make a breakthrough with the new addition to their bench represented by Marco Giampaolowho takes over the coaching position left vacant for just a few hours by his predecessor, Luca Gotti, who was sacked after the 1-1 home draw against Empoli on Friday.
There is a player for whom in Lecce they hope that things can really change with the change on the Via del Mare bench, and it is nothing less than the most expensive coup of the last summer for the Salento players. We are referring to Filip Marchwinski (22 years old), playmaker paid 3 million euros in the summer by Lech Poznan, with great expectations accompanying his arrival.
With Gotti things never really worked and the playing time bears witness to all this collected by the class of 2002 in these first months spent in Lecce. Marchwinski has played just one match as a starter, that of the Italian Cup at the end of September which was lost 0-2 against Sassuolo. It was also Marchwinski’s last appearance overall, as he complained of an ankle problem a few days later which forced him to pit. Previously he had collected just two tokens as a substitute at the end of August, the 12th for the 1st round of the Italian Cup with Mantua and seven days later for the 1st matchday of the championship with Atalanta. A total of just 106 minutes in 3 months, too little for those who convinced Corvino to put 3 million euros on the table, a non-trivial sum for Lecce, to get him. His hope, and that of the square, is that with Giampaolo things can change. On the other hand, the coach had also requested it in 2020 from Torino, but remained unheeded.
