Mario Beretta has been presented as the new Coach of Lecce and has set his target for the season as comfortable survival.
Lecce have returned to the top flight after two years in the Second Division, but they did so under Giuseppe Papadopulo, who quit the club after failing to agree a new deal.
The Salentini have turned to former Siena boss Beretta, who guided the Robur to mid-table comfort last term, and he is aiming to do the same again.
I have to thank the club for showing trust in me, the 48-year-old said at his opening Press conference.
This is a very important footballing city with a great tradition and I am very grateful at being called to take charge of this team.
My work is to make a contribution to the project and to bring passion and enthusiasm.
The aim for the season is to achieve comfortable safety, hopefully with a few weeks to go.
