A new adventure for Italian manager Giuseppe Iachini. Currently third last in the Serie A TIM - after the dismissal of Aurelio Andreazzoli - Iachini has been chosen by president Fabrizio Corsi to take control of Empoli. Today, he officially presented himself at a press conference.
"First of all, I would like to thank the club for the esteem and respect it has shown me, but I would also like to salute Andreazzoli, to whom I am close with. In the past, it has happened to me when I have won a championship, but then was let go. He did a terrific job here and this should not be forgotten. In my opinion, Empoli is a team that has quality, in which there is a right mix of youth and experience. My goal, right now, is to do my job as much as possible and bring my knowledge: I do not like talking too much, I prefer to work in the field. I want to give the maximum satisfaction to this company."
Iachini then talked about his decision in choosing Empoli despite the interest of the Greek National Team.
"I was pleased with the interest from Greece, it means that I have worked very hard and well. I also had other opportunities - said the coach - but I preferred to wait and now Empoli is the right situation for me. We must start well right away, attention to Udinese who put Milan in difficulty until the end. The ranking position is what it is, but we must make sure to reverse the route. Football is not an exact science and we must take care of every detail".
