Salernitana hires Liverani to replace Inzaghi as coach with the club hoping for another ‘miracle’
Associated PressSALERNO, Italy — Struggling Serie A club Salernitana is hoping for another “sporting miracle” after firing coach Filippo Inzaghi and replacing him with Fabio Liverani in the hopes of staving off relegation again. Even Salernitana general manager Walter Sabatini acknowledged at a news conference to present Liverani on Monday that, after the team’s latest loss against Empoli, “our percentage chance of securing safety is 3.5 %.” But Salernitana has been in this position before. Two years ago, Davide Nicola — currently in charge at Empoli — became Salernitana’s third coach of the season, with the team having spent most of the campaign rooted to the bottom of the table. “I think the club chose me to do the best possible in these months, we’ll see if we manage to achieve this little lunacy of saving ourselves and if both parties want, we’ll continue.” Liverani last coached Cagliari in Serie B but was fired in December 2022 after a disappointing few months in charge.
