Top target for new manager. Veteran Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri has announced his retirement after successfully leading the team to relegation this season, leaving the club in desperate need of a new manager.
Romano said, "Paolo Sousa could soon return to Italian football as Cagliari have contacted him and he is the first choice for the new Cagliari manager. Verona also called Paolo Sousa last week."
Paulo Sousa is an experienced Portuguese coach who has coached Fiorentina, Tianjin Quanjian in the Chinese Super League, and the Polish national team.Sousa took charge of Salernitana in February 2023 and successfully led the team to relegation in the 2022-23 season. However, Salernitana had a poor start to the season in Serie A, with three draws and five losses, and Sousa was dismissed in October 2023 as a result.
Cagliari hopes that by bringing in Sousa, with his rich coaching experience and tactical ability, he can help the team achieve better results in future matches. Fans are also looking forward to seeing Sousa lead Cagliari to a new glory.
