Eziolino Capuano he entered the history of our football. In fact, the coach was announced today by Taranto, who perhaps will sit on the third bench of the season – all in Group C – after the farewells to Taranto and Foggia.
A unique situation made possible by the regulation launched a year ago which allows coaches sacked before December 20th to relocate to another bench in the same season. And so did Capuano who in the summer, after a series of medical certificates presented to the Ionian club, was sacked even before the start of the championship. At the end of September the expert coach from Campania took over the Foggia bench after the dismissal of Massimo Brambilla – then returned to Juventus Next Gen – where, however, his adventure lasted only a month before his resignation motivated, ipse dixit, by the serious loss suffered by the Apulian city (i.e. the four fans who died in a road accident on the way back from the trip to Potenza) . An experience, the one with the Rossoneri, short and certainly not memorable in light of the five points in as many matches and a ranking that saw Foggia in the play-out zone.
Now the call of a Trapani built for the noble areas of the ranking, but ended up in a quagmire which led first to the dismissal of Alfio Torrisi, confirmed in the summer without great conviction, and then to the first adventure as a professional coach of Salvatore Aronica who was unable to give the team continuity of results to earn the trust of the club until the end of the season and will now probably return to coaching in the youth sector of the Sicilian club.
Capuano inherits a team that finds itself at the foot of the play-off zone and so far has maintained a continuous trend from a certain point of view – with six victories, six draws and six defeats – which however does not allow it to aspire to prestigious goals such as those set by president Antonini who therefore decided to revolutionize everything on the eve of the winter transfer window by also calling the expert sporting director Giuseppe Pavone from Messina to Trapani. The field will tell us if the gamble paid off and if the third bench of the season will be the good one for Mr. Capuano. It’s worth having to wait until next year to start again.
