Davide Nicola has been reappointed as manager of Salernitana just two days after he was sacked after the Serie A side received an emphatic drubbing at the hands of free-scoring Atalanta.
Nicola was dismissed on Monday following a heavy 8-2 loss to Atalanta but club president Danilo Iervolino said he changed his mind after a conversation with Nicola in which he spoke “a thousand positive words”.
Nicola, who was first appointed in February last year, while confirming the reappointment said he was grateful Iervolino and sporting director Morgan De Sanctis for giving him a second chance.
Salernitana are 16th in Serie A after 18 matches.
