FERRARA – After six years of great results, Leonardo Semplici was exonerated from Spal after the internal thud against Sassuolo in the day's lunch match. Semplici took Ferrara's team in Serie C and brought it up to Serie A where it hit two consecutive saves against all odds. This year the team looks set to be relegated.
The Ferrara team has decided to make a desperate attempt by exonerating and replacing it with the former coach of the Under 21 National Football Team Gigi Di Biagio . For the former Roma player, this is his first experience on a Serie A bench. For this reason he has accepted a mission that seems practically impossible.
