The most incredible of Olbia's pre-match eves, inaugurated this morning by the resignation of Lucas Gatti, comes to an end with the list of players called up for tomorrow's away match against Savoia, which Lucarelli will miss due to suspension.
The news of the Argentine coach's desire to leave, after six games characterized by 3 defeats and 2 draws, had been circulating for a few hours until around midday the official statement from the Gallura club arrived, which reads: "The club announces that Lucas Gatti has resigned for family reasons. Olbia Calcio acknowledges the wishes of mister Gatti, who will however be regularly on the bench for the delicate away match on Sunday. The name of the new coach will be announced in the coming days. The club thanks Lucas and wishes him good luck for the rest of his career".
Arrived a month ago to replace the fired Marco Amelia, the former Boca Juniors player would have matured the decision already on Sunday, after the defeat at home to Atletico Lodigiani, worried in reality, according to sources close to him, by the internal difficulties of Olbia, much more than by the results. Now, the hunt is on for a replacement, who would be the sixth coach of the SwissPro era, which began just last year at this time.
Presumably, before making any move, they will wait for the arrival in the city of the Turkish entrepreneur who financed the Olbia project by lending money to the Swiss associates.
Meanwhile, Olbia announces that it has entrusted the bench of the Under 17 team, without the resigning Giuseppe Leggieri, to Salvatore Melino, already a protagonist in the white shirt as a player, and tomorrow at the “Giuseppe Piccolo” stadium arena in Cercola, Naples, on neutral ground and behind closed doors due to the incidents in Cassino, on the occasion of the 11th day of Serie D La Rosa and his teammates will have to face one of the candidates for the jump in category from the bottom of the penultimate place in the standings and in the midst of a chaos that seems to have no end.
