Just hours before the match against Arborea, scheduled for this afternoon at 3:00 PM at the Santa Sofia stadium, Arbus Guspini Costa Verde has resolved the coaching situation: Maurizio Rinino has been appointed as Nicola Agus' replacement, the latter having mutually terminated his contract with the club earlier this week . Rinino will make his debut immediately, starting from the bench, against the top team in Group A of the Promozione league.
"The appointment of Coach Rinino represents the club's desire to revitalize its sporting journey, rediscovering enthusiasm, unity, determination, and a sense of belonging," Arbus Guspini Costa Verde announced. "We are convinced that through daily work, dedication, sacrifice, and mutual respect, we can lay the foundations to confidently face the challenges that lie ahead."
Rinino, born in 1969, is originally from Turin but now Sardinian by adoption. His career as a midfielder peaked at Chievo, from 1993 to 1998, where he also played in Serie B (he was on the pitch for Verona at Sant'Elia in June 1998, in the 2-2 draw that secured Cagliari promotion to Serie A). He then began coaching: his stints on the island include Monastir, Asseminise, and especially Sant'Elena, the latter of which he managed on several occasions . After nine matchdays, Arbus Guspini Costa Verde is second to last in Group A of the Promotion League, with five points, all drawn.
