Bari Under De Laurentiis: A Season of Discontent

The Bari of the De Laurentiis does not find peace. The Apulian club managed by the first-born of the house, Luigi, has officially dismissed Beppe Iachini, the coach who had arrived just last February replacing Pasquale Marino. In these two months, Iachini has led Bari in 10 matches, in which he has obtained, however, just 2 victories against 2 draws and 6 defeats. Numbers that have led to the dismissal and that currently relegate the team to the 16th place in Serie B. A terrible and frightening position since at the moment the biancorossi would have to play the playout playoff to not end up in Serie C against Spezia, a disappointing championship after having come close to promotion to Serie A just a year ago. The team already has a new coach: "After a long discussion between the parties, SSC Bari announces that it has relieved Giuseppe Iachini of his duties as head coach of the First Team. At the same time, the technical leadership of the First Team is entrusted, until the end of the season, to Mister Federico Giampaolo, until today coach of the Primavera biancorossa" reads the statement. In this season, Bari has already changed coach three times, a sad parallel with Napoli managed by Aurelio De Laurentiis, who in this post-scudetto season has changed coach twice going from Rudi Garcia to Mazzarri and then to Francesco Calzona.
