Fabio Pisacane's Serie A debut as Cagliari manager was a draw. It was a huge achievement, both for his performance (on par with Fiorentina) and for the way it ended, with Sebastiano Luperto's 94th-minute equalizer . "It was a great feeling, which luckily I managed until 4 p.m. when we went to the technical meeting," he recalled of his day. "Nine years ago, just 50 meters from here, I made my Serie A debut as a player, and now I'm doing it as a coach: I'm so happy. I thank the boys, the club, and the staff, who accompanied me on this wonderful journey."

Pisacane is pleased with the performance, considering how Cagliari has started the season. " I saw my team as we had prepared for the match . I'm satisfied: we know a difficult journey awaits us, we must approach it with great humility. And add a pinch of courage, because the team showed quality."

The substitutions also had an impact. "Five substitutions can change the game. I'm satisfied with the lads' response; this must be a starting point." But the attacking trio also convinced him: "I have to say I'm very happy with the sacrifice everyone who played made."
