On April 28, Beijing time, Venice officially announced that the 39-year-old meritorious coach Paul Zanetti was dismissed, and the two sides ended the 2-year cooperative relationship.
Paulo Zanetti took over in charge of Venice in August 2020 and led the team back to Serie A after 19 years in his first season at Venice. However, after losing 3-1 at home to Atalanta last weekend, Venice suffered an eight-game losing streak while being overtaken by Salernitana to the bottom 1 position in Serie A.
You know, Venice can still rank in the third place in Serie A before 8 consecutive defeats, when they scored the same points with Cagliari in front of them, while leading Salenitana and Genoa by 5 and 6 points behind them, the relegation situation is still relatively optimistic. Now they have been stretched by 6 points by Cagliari, who is 4th from the bottom of Serie A. The only reassuring thing is that they played one less round than Cagliari.
Paulo Zanetti became the 10th manager to step down in Serie A this season, with Genoa having changed three coaches. Of the 20 teams in Serie A this season, the only teams that have not changed managers since the pre-season are Bologna and Atalanta.
Bologna have just come up with a 2-1 comeback in a make-up match against Inter, which is likely to be a serie A victory. Bologna has 42 points in hand and is already ashore. Atalanta drew 4-4 with Turin in the make-up match, basically missing out on next season's Champions League.
