Cagliari, after the dismissal of coach Nicola, has officially announced the replacement of the coach who led them to safety. He has signed a one-year contract.
The Cagliari has its new coach. After the dismissal of Davide Nicola, despite securing safety on the penultimate day of Serie A, the Sardinian club has found a replacement.
As reported on the official website of the island club, Cagliari has chosen Fabio Pisacane as the new head coach of the first team. The former club legend has signed a one-year contract, until 2026, which could automatically renew for another year if certain conditions are met.
The decision to entrust Pisacane with the first team bench comes after excellent results in the last two years with the Cagliari Primavera. Two seventh places, just a step away from the Scudetto playoffs, and above all a Coppa Italia victory with a 3-0 win over Milan on April 9th.

Cagliari, Pisacane’s statement
“Cagliari Calcio is pleased to announce that it has entrusted the technical management of the first team to Fabio Pisacane: the coach has signed a contract that binds him to the rossoblù Club until June 30, 2026 with automatic renewal for an additional season upon the occurrence of certain sporting conditions.
Born in Naples, 39 years old, Pisacane has played over 430 professional matches as a player, more than 150 of which with Cagliari’s jersey. Arriving in Sardinia in the summer of 2015, he played for the rossoblù for 6 seasons in which he contributed to the immediate return to Serie A – with the victory of the second-tier tournament – and to the team’s stay in the top flight in the following five seasons.
In the island, he found his adoptive land, a second home. After ending his playing career, he immediately started his coaching path, always in rossoblù. In July 2022, he joined the first team staff as a technical collaborator, on the bench on an interim basis – before the arrival of Mr. Ranieri – during the victory against Cosenza (2-0) on December 26. He then entered the technical staff of the Youth Sector to become, in March 2023, the assistant coach of the Primavera. In the summer of the same year, he took over the team: for two consecutive seasons, he achieved seventh place in the standings with his players, coming close to access to the Scudetto playoffs, and above all, he won the Coppa Italia in the category – for the first time in the Club’s history – beating Milan in the final (3-0) at the “Brera” Arena in Milan, on April 9.
Innate leadership, Pisacane is a born coach: charismatic, thanks to his human qualities, he can immediately connect with the dressing room, skillful in managing and motivating the group. Work and organization are his mantras, in addition to meticulous tactical preparation and adaptability, he combines the temperament and determination of someone who has ambition and hunger for success.
Strong identity and sense of belonging to transmit to the team, a true leader with a rossoblù soul.
Good work, Fabio!”.

Crazy night at San Siro: Pisa almost pulls off the upset, Rossoneri saved in stoppage time

I rossoneri sprecano una grande occasione per consolidare il primato: da 1-0 a 1-2, servono i minuti finali per evitare una sconfitta clamorosa. Il rischio di perdere la vetta per il Milan è ora concreto.
Doveva essere una serata di tranquillità per i rossoneri, l’occasione per rafforzare il 1° posto in classifica e affrontare con serenità il turno infrasettimanale. Invece, contro un Pisa coraggioso, i rossoneri si complicano la vita e devono ringraziare Athekame, autore del 2-2 in pieno recupero, per aver evitato una figuraccia.
Milan-Pisa 2-2: l’analisi della partita
Il match si era messo subito in discesa grazie al gol di Leao dopo appena sette minuti. Ma la squadra di Allegri, invece di chiudere la partita, si è adagiata, peccando di presunzione e mancando di cattiveria sotto porta. Nel primo tempo il Milan controlla ma non affonda, e il Pisa resta in partita.

Nella ripresa Gilardino pesca il jolly: l’ingresso di Cuadrado cambia tutto. Il colombiano conquista e realizza il rigore dell’1-1, l’ottavo centro in carriera contro i rossoneri, poi ispira il contropiede che porta Nzola al clamoroso 2-1. Il Milan, confuso e poco lucido, prova a reagire, con Leao che colpisce una traversa, Nkunku spreca il possibile sorpasso.
Solo nei minuti di recupero arriva il pareggio, firmato Athekame, che evita una sconfitta pesante ma non cancella l’amarezza. I rossoneri pagano forse la mancanza di rispetto per l’avversario, proprio come aveva ammonito Allegri prima del fischio d’inizio.
Un bagno d’umiltà necessario, perché martedì a Bergamo il Milan rischia di non presentarsi più da capolista.

Parma by Carlos Cuesta hosts Como by Fàbregas: a challenge between the two youngest coaches in Serie A, but with very different destinies at the moment.
Tomorrow afternoon, Parma will host Como in a fascinating and internationally flavored match: on one side Carlos Cuesta, on the other Cesc Fàbregas, the two youngest coaches in the league and compatriots. On paper, the projects of the two clubs seem similar: both focus on fresh ideas, ambitious coaches, and squads built on young players to be valued.
But the reality on the field tells a different story. While Como has confirmed the solidity and style seen in the last season, as demonstrated by the splendid victory against Juventus in the last round, Parma seems to be stuck, unable to find continuity and rhythm.

Parma, confidence to regain
The main problem for Cuesta remains the lack of a clear playing identity. The yellow-blue team often appears lacking bite and struggles especially in the offensive phase, where it seems to overly depend on the individual plays of its best players.
The serious injuries of Ondrejka and Frigan have certainly complicated the plans, but the feeling is that more decisive action could have been taken in the summer transfer market, especially after the significant departures of Leoni, Bonny, and Sohm. Now Cuesta finds himself with a squad lacking quality and alternatives, while the management, despite reiterating confidence in their coach, cannot ignore the warning signs.
Another misstep could indeed raise doubts about the future of the Spanish coach, with fans finally asking for a solid performance and some signs from an attack so far too dependent on Pellegrino.

Inter coach Christian Chivu speaks at a press conference on the eve of the big match against Napoli at Maradona.
No one is in better form than Inter. The Nerazzurri, coming off 7 consecutive victories in Serie A and Champions League, want to continue their great form in the big match against Napoli. The Maradona challenge, between the top two teams of last season, could determine new power dynamics at the top. Currently, both teams are tied on 15 points in the standings.
The match against Conte’s team also gives Inter a chance to redeem themselves after losing last season’s title to Napoli by just one point. On the eve of the game, Inter coach Christian Chivu spoke at a press conference. Here are his words.
Inter, Chivu’s Words

Match.
“We can’t make comparisons with last year but look at what happened last year: they won the league and we didn’t. The rivalry and ambitions are there.”
Rest Day.
“I don’t need to justify it, it seems normal to me. Sometimes, it’s the best training. We’re coming from a very intense period, it seemed right to take a break and give them a day with their families. I trust their professionalism.”
Can this game shape the season?
“It’s important, we’re only on matchday eight. We understand that a lot is at stake but not everything. We go with conviction and we must be prepared.”
Are you preparing something different?
“I’ve learned that all games should be treated equally to maintain continuity, you can’t afford to consider yourself superior to others or you won’t win. I’ve been in teams where training was harder than the matches but we always had the right attitude.”
Lautaro’s Partner.

“For me, it doesn’t change anything, I have 4 compatible and generous strikers, if I mix them, the team’s performance remains the same. For me, there are no pairs, they have shown they can play together.”
Is it becoming harder to score in Serie A?
“I don’t see a problem, it means teams are well-prepared and so are the coaches. Abroad, there’s less concern about the opponent and more focus on the development of your own team. But it doesn’t mean that Italian football is declining or lagging behind, it’s a different way of interpreting it.”
Napoli is the team that beat them a year ago: is there a desire for revenge?
“I don’t think they have any chips on their shoulders. After Conte, there was Inzaghi and we won the second star and played two Champions League finals. I don’t think facing Conte is an extra motivation, we are Inter.”
Rotations.
“Diouf and Luis Henrique have played less so far but they have room for growth, I don’t consider them ready yet, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t given them the opportunity. Perhaps with many close games, I had less time to listen to them and explain things, but they have quality, I see it every day and there will come a time when they unlock and we’ll see them on the field more often.”
