It could cost you dearly Paulo Sousa the defeat suffered yesterday by Empoli. The Salernitana is currently evaluating a possible dismissal of the coach. After yesterday's 1-0, the players met with the fans, disappointed and angry for the match lost in Tuscany. The Granata club no longer knows how to win and Sousa's position seems increasingly at risk.
After a complicated summer, Paulo Sousa and his Salernitana they started the season in the worst possible way. Three draws in six games, only 4 goals scored and 10 conceded, which are erasing the brilliant second half of last season, which had led Sousa to be linked to other clubs. Especially De Laurentiis' Napoli, who in July had considered the Portuguese before choosing Garcia. A "slap in the face" for the fans and for President Iervolino, who had already damaged relations and risked breaking the idyll early.
The month of August then continued with verbal skirmishes between the coach and the sporting director Morgan De Sanctis, guilty of not having completed the squad in time for the start of the season. The icing on the cake was the “Dia case”. The striker had asked to be transferred in the last days of the transfer market and, not having been satisfied, had not shown up in Salerno after the international break (from which he returned injured).
A powder keg that, combined with the terrible start of the Campanians, could cost Paulo Sousa dearly, very close to being fired in these hours. The only "good" news for the former Fiorentina coach is the signing of Rino Gattuso with Marseille. The former Milan midfielder, in fact, would have been the number one candidate for the Granata bench. Therefore, Sousa could still be granted a few games to restart, before making a perhaps inevitable decision.
