Guido Pagliuca resigns from Empoli; Andreoletti appointed

Overview

Guido Pagliuca has resigned from his position as head coach of Empoli following a difficult start to the Serie B season. His departure follows a period of reported tension between the manager and the club, as well as a recent defeat against Modena and an early exit from the Coppa Italia against Pisa.

Pagliuca’s tenure lasted six official matches, during which the team recorded two victories and four defeats. In a social media statement, Pagliuca expressed gratitude to the fans, specifically mentioning the Maratona supporters, and described the players as “strong individuals of great value.” This departure follows a similar pattern for the manager, who was also dismissed by Empoli a year prior after seven matches.

While initial reports suggested that regulatory constraints might prevent Pagliuca from joining another club like Carrarese during the same season, he is expected to join Carrarese in Serie B following the dismissal of their manager, Gabriele Cioffi.

Empoli has moved to appoint 39-year-old Matteo Andreoletti as its new head coach. Andreoletti arrives from Padova, where he led the team to promotion to Serie B with an average of 2.26 points per match. He will be supported by a technical staff including Stefano Bianconi and Andrea Malgrati. His formal presentation to the press is expected following the completion of administrative requirements to release him from his previous club.
