Serie B: Giordano takes Pisa job
Sunday 19 April, 2009

Pisa have appointed Bruno Giordano as their new Coach after firing Giampiero Ventura, announced the Tuscan club.

“Pisa Calcio announce that starting from today's training session the team will be under the orders of Bruno Giordano,” read a statement.

“The new staff will be completed by assistant manager Ferruccio Mariani, goalkeeping Coach Enrico Magnozzi and fitness Coach Gennaro Esposito.

“The new team manager will be Lamberto Piovanelli. The contract with Giordano lasts until June 30, 2009.”

Ventura was sacked after Saturday's 1-0 loss away to Cittadella, which was their fifth consecutive defeat.

It is Giordano's return to management after he led Messina in the 2006-07 Serie A campaign, while he had also worked at Catanzaro, Reggiana, L'Aquila, Tivoli, Lecco, Nocerina, Ancona, Frosinone, Crotone and Fano.

As a player he won the Scudetto and Coppa Italia with Diego Armando Maradona's Napoli.
