If “Salernitana” got to a safe place three days earlier, a lot of credit for this belongs to the coach. Paulo Souza. Replacing Nicola after a dangerous defeat in Verona, the Portuguese coach has inherited a particularly difficult situation. A team in free fall, a minimal advantage over the relegation zone, disappointed fans, a split group and a lack of technical and tactical identity, statistics that speak of only one victory in ten days, and a defense that concedes an average of 2.5 goals per game. “The challenge will be to get my ideas across to the players and get them to absorb them as quickly as possible… knowing we don’t have time. My style of playing football is completely different from that of my predecessor, I intend to make the most of the great offensive potential available and to ensure safety through a proactive and non-speculative system of play. I need a brave Salernitana who tries to win respect home and away without fear and in an organized manner in both stages,” he said on the day of his presentation, before noting an impressive streak of 12 out of 14 positives and taking Salernitana from +3 to +9 from the departure area. What about his future? “Salvation” prompted an automatic two-year extension with clear stipulations: in fact, starting from the second season, he will be able to “free himself” in the event of a call from clubs fighting for Europe and … wanting to shell out an important amount. We are talking about one million euros, but the details may be disclosed at the time of signing.
