Novellino Out – Iaconi In
By: Dan | October 25th, 2009
It’s not fun to blog about Reggina when all we are experiencing is loss after loss… 4th from the bottom after 10 matches. I like Novellino but I guess something had to be done to ignite a fire with this team. Walter Novellino was canned following the 2-0 road loss to his former club, Torino. A match in which we hardly created anything on the offensive side. Missed a couple a close chances, but other than that never really threatened.
So Novellino’s replacement is Ivo Iaconi. Who is Iaconi you might ask? He’s a 53-year-old journeyman coach around the lower leagues in Italy. Most recently with Cremonese, and more notably with Ascoli in 2007-08 after their relegation from Serie A. He’s been at the helm of more than ten clubs in a period of time which spans almost two decades.
Is he the right guy for the job? From what I’ve read, he prefers to use three defenders and three attacking players, which might create some exciting football for once. He relies on the speed of the wingers, so we might see a 3-4-3 of some sorts. We won’t have long to wait and see what Iaconi does on his debut, as he will be immediately tested with a midweek match against Lecce.
Promotion is far from a goal now. Let’s just take it one game at a time and then we can see where we are at when May and June roll around. For now, I will continue to play FIFA ‘10 and live in my Reggina fantasy world.

Ya…the sad thing was that both Franco Brenza & Andrea Costa both came back from injury which I would have though that it would ignite the team to work both hard & smart for the win but I guess Walter Novellino didn’t give the boys the motivation to win. This team is lacking a leader that Nicola Amoruso gave to the team when he was there.
Any way’s I’m also playing FIFA10 with my PSP ….and right now if I was Coach, we would be promoted in serie “A” fighting for the title!! LOL..FORZA REGGINA!!Posted from
