Big news coming out of the North...
Padova have sacked their coach! Huge news considering they are second on the table and only 8 points behind the leaders with plenty of games to go. Whilst I guess the owners wanted to send a signal and show that they want that automatic promotion spot, I think that sacking their coach at this point in the season is just reckless. Padova have been playing really well. Sudtirol so far are really killing the league (unbeaten in 27 games!) and overtaking them might just be too hard.
Apparently Raffaele Longo (former pro, with serie A experience) is the interim coach but the real target is former AC Milan and Italian international Massimo Oddo.
I hope whoever comes in has a good opinion of Niko. A change at the helm is always scary, much more so when you're battling for promotion.
