The Salernitana coach will face his past, but against Turin as a coach he has never won in his career
Immediately after the resumption of the championship, which saw Toro draw 1-1 against Verona, they return to the field for the 17th day of the championship. Complicated challenge and full of pitfalls for the grenades of Ivan Yuricwho will face Salernitana di away at the Stadio Arechi David Nicholas. Kick-off at 12.30 on Sunday, in an environment that will, as always, be very hot. Nicola saved Torino from relegation to Serie B in the 2020/2021 season, but then was not confirmed. Last year he made another great feat, one of his usual ones, saving Salernitana which was in critical condition. Also thanks to the help of Sabatini, Verdi and Bonazzoli, he managed to perform a miracle, deserving confirmation. During the summer market many reinforcements arrived such as Piatek, Maggiore and Dia, and his team is aiming for a more peaceful salvation. Now, however, Toro is back in his path, a team where he too made history as a player.
The balance sheet against Turin
Davide Nicola, since he became a coach, has faced Toro 7 times, without ever beating them. With the Croton, in three matches he collected two draws (1-1 and 2-2) and one defeat (0-2). With the’Udinese a 1-0 defeat (goal from Aina and penalty saved by Sirigu). With the Genoa two defeats, 3-0 in the league and 6-4 in the Italian Cup, after penalties (Berenguer’s spoon was decisive). Finally with the Salernitana last year a 0-1 defeat, with a goal by Belotti from a penalty.
The current season
Currently the Campania are in 14th position with 17 points, 5 less than Toro. Perhaps something more was expected, which is also why the name of the Piedmontese coach has been questioned. All the same, however, he declared that anyone who speaks of objectives other than salvation for Salernitana does nothing but hurt her.
