The day after Marco Amelia's dismissal, Olbia is still in a state of confusion. In the city, it is hard to remember such an early dismissal, which, given the crisis in results for the whites, who on Sunday on the Anzio field suffered their third defeat in four league games, and, including the Italian Cup, have not won a single match this year, seems hasty and, for many, incomprehensible.

The coach is given relative responsibilities if it is true that the season started late and amidst a thousand uncertainties, that the roster of players was revolutionized and, to date, is still incomplete, and that on the field Olbia has proven inadequate with respect to the objective indicated by the Swiss ownership of a prompt return to Serie C after the disastrous direct relegation last April.

Through the press release issued yesterday to formalize the dismissal of Amelia and his assistant, Alessandro Moglioni, the club announced that "temporarily, the training sessions will be chaired by the Under 19 coach Mario Isoni". Meanwhile, Olbia - in press blackout since Sunday evening - is last in the standings with one point, jointly with Real Monterotondo who they will face on Sunday at the "Nespoli".

A challenge in which Costanzo will be missing, sent off against Anzio just before half-time for an elbow to the face of an opponent, with the Gallura team leading 1-0 thanks to a goal by De Grazia. An unjustifiable gesture that adds to the already too many red cards received at the start of this season, in order by Costanzo (that time for a double yellow) in the Coppa Italia against Ilvamaddalena and Arboleda (double yellow) and La Rosa (direct, costing him three rounds) in the championship match with Ilva on the first day.

Speaking of the captain, he will return from suspension just in time for the match between the bottom of the class and Monterotondo.
