After a 19-year absence, Venezia FC clinched its return to Serie A last Thursday after defeating Cittadella in the promotion playoffs final. The result was secured at the world-renowned Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, which is located on the far eastern edge of Venice and easily accessible by boat (or perhaps a fine gondola ride with a bottle of Prosecco).
Hirving Lozano no tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo para saber el nombre de su nuevo entrenador en el Napoli. Seis días después de la destitución de Genaro Gattuso, por no lograr la clasificación a la próxima Champions League, el club italiano anunció la llegada de Luciano Spalletti.
El entrenador italiano vuelve al ruedo después de haber vivido los últimos dos años en su granja en la región de Toscana, viendo fútbol y quizás plantando tomates. Vaya a saber uno.
Su último trabajo había sido a cargo del Inter de Milán, donde estuvo entre 2017 y 2019.
After parting ways with manager Gennaro Gattuso following Napoli's failure to secure Champions League qualification, it would appear Aurelio De Laurentiis has got his man.
ROME — Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte has terminated his contract one year early just days after leading them to their first Serie A title in 11 years, the club said on Wednesday.

Dato duro: un minuto después de que Genaro Gattuso decidiera sacar del campo a Hirving Lozano, el Napoli recibió un gol que dejó al club fuera de la Champions League 2021/22.
Llámenla "La Maldición del Chucky", si quieren.
Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be forced to play in the Europa League next season. Juventus hammered Bologna 4-1 on the final day of the Serie A campaign on Sunday. Combined with Napoli’s 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona, the Old Lady was catapulted into fourth place to claim the final Champions League berth.
130 partidos le tomó a Cristiano Ronaldo alcanzar su gol número 100 con la camiseta de la Juventus. El portugués logró la cifra en la victoria sobre el Sassuolo por 1-3 y en una semana en que brotan rumores de que el plantel no está muy contento con él.
La Vecchia Signora visitó al Sassuolo con la obligación de ganar y así mantener las chances de clasificar a la Champions League 2021/22. La misión no sería fácil.
Napoli venció por 5-1 al Udinese, en la jornada 36 de la Serie A, y dio un paso más en su objetivo de clasificar a la próxima Champions League. Uno de los goles de la victoria se celebró en México, porque vino en los pies de Hirving Lozano.
El Chucky Lozano hace la travesura, roba y anota.
TURIN, Italy - Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said he will not resign after seeing his side slip out of the Champions League qualification places in Serie A following a 3-0 home defeat by AC Milan on Sunday, insisting he can do better.
Last weekend, two late goals from Cristiano Ronaldo earned Juve a dramatic victory at Udinese to give them confidence going into the crucial clash with Milan who, like the Turin side, have stuttered in recent matches.
