In late July 2026, Giovanni Tedesco, the head coach of Serie C side Perugia, spoke about the club’s long‑term plan to develop its young squad, emphasizing patience, the integration of academy graduates and new signing Borsoi, and a measured preparation for the upcoming season.

A few days later, on 2 August 2026, Tedesco announced he would leave his position after a friendly against Grosseto. He cited frustration with speculation, low salary relative to the league, and a desire to address outstanding matters with co‑owners before departing, and scheduled a press conference to explain his decision.
