Davide Nicola, Salernitana manager who was sacked after the club was treated to a 8-2 loss by Atlanta has convinced the club President to reinstall him as manager.

Salernitana were humiliated in a Seria A match by Atlanta and the club immediately called an end to the club manager reign. Davide Nicola was sacked from his position as manage in a statement released by the club.

48 hours after the sack, Davide Nicola announced on his social media that he has returned as the club’s manager.

Yesterday, president Danilo Lervolino called me and he politely explained the rationale behind the decision he reluctantly made to part ways following our awful display away at Atalanta.

“I immediately held my hands up for a performance that wasn’t up to scratch and for the resulting heavy defeat. That’s because I believe in this team and the players that are part of it, just as I believe in the great club behind the team.

“I pleaded with the president to reconsider my dismissal, well aware that I could tug on the heartstrings of a human being who’s open-minded enough to listen and who is very keen to do something different in the world of football. That’s because I love Salerno and I have the utmost belief in what we’re doing here.

“I thank the president for calling me back, that’s evidence that this new brand of football is full of heart and passion and that’s why I want to repay his faith in me with every fibre of my being and every last ounce of passion within me.”

“Now we all go again as one and we will write another extraordinary footballing tale and show the fans the same passion and unconditional support they show the club that they identify with.”

Salernitana are currently bottom of the Serie A  table, coping just 13 points from 23 matches.
