Serie B: Treviso bring in Balbo
Tuesday 24 February, 2009

Serie B bottom side Treviso have sacked Coach Luca Gotti and handed the post to former Roma and Udinese striker Abel Balbo.

The Trevigiani were in Serie A as recently as 2005-06, but they are currently closer to the Lega Pro after a dismal campaign.

Treviso's directors tried to sack struggling tactician Gotti at the end of January, but the players protested until he was reinstated.

However, this time the decision is final and former Roma and Udinese star Balbo has been given his first managerial post.

Argentine international hitman Balbo scored 78 goals in 171 appearances for Roma between 1993 and 1998 after arriving from Udinese.
