Serie A, Davide Nicola is the new coach of Venezia

After the dismissal of Giovanni Stroppa, Venezia officially announced that "they have entrusted Davide Nicola with the role of first team coach. Nicola has signed a contract, effective from Thursday 15 October, until the end of the 2027/28 season". The Piedmontese coach, who today was freed from his existing contract with Cremonese, signed a two-year agreement, until the end of the 2027/28 season. At the same time as Mister Nicola's arrival, Manuele Cacicia also joined the technical staff as technical collaborator, Gabriele Stoppino as athletic trainer, and Lorenzo Squizzi in the role of goalkeeper trainer.

"Venice company with a long-term vision"

"I chose Venezia because in this club I see a long-term vision, a great desire to build and important growth prospects. Then the presence of the director Antonelli, who I already knew, played a decisive role in the choice because he made me feel wanted. I saw the team play in these first matches and I saw a positive chemistry in the players. For my part there is a crazy enthusiasm and hunger, I have an incredible desire to set foot on the pitch again and achieve the objective of salvation. In my job I look forward to it the most I feel that the ability to give emotions and write pages of history that remain over time is important and we must do it together with our people", said Nicola. Before the adventure in Lombardy, which ended with a dismissal last March, the coach completed some historic feats in terms of salvation, from Crotone to Salerno, passing through Empoli, Genoa and Turin. Even with Cagliari he achieved his objective, albeit without having to make miraculous comebacks, like the one that awaits him in the lagoon, given that no team with zero points after 6 days has ever survived in the history of Serie A.
