After their sixth consecutive defeat, Udinese saw their coach, Kosta Runjaic, remain on the bench, but without the exhortation being at the center of the discussions. The Viennese manager, who grew up in Germany, tried to find strengths in the match against Milan, which ended 0-2. “We are alive, it's a shame we concede a goal with every shot conceded,” said Runjaic, underlining the difficulty of defending against an opponent who controlled the match from the second goal. The goalkeeping problem and general lack of quality have been highlighted as the main causes of the recent disappointments.
Udinese's future remains uncertain, but the team still has a match to play against Parma at the Tardini, where the question of "in or out" is also repeated for coach Alberto Gilardino. His tenure began with three defeats in three matches, with eight goals conceded and just one scored. After the defeat against Lazio, Gilardino explained that he tried to adopt a formation that he believed was the most suitable, but recognized the need to make rapid changes. “We need an immediate shake-up,” he said, highlighting the lack of results of the five-man defence.
Meanwhile, other SerieA teams are showing signs of change. RubenAmorim, having just returned to the pitch, achieved a victory against Bournemouth, while Luciano Spalletti had a moment of relief after the defeat against Lecce. Atalanta, under MaurizioSarri, has obtained ten points in eight matchdays, but the team has yet to demonstrate that it can maintain the pace. Fiorentina, led by PaoloVanoli, has undergone a change of coach, as have Bologna, Parma and Venezia, who have all undergone changes in their technical management.
In summary, the season is still being defined for many teams. Runjaic remains in charge, but the pressure is high, and the next match against Parma will be decisive to understand if Udinese can reverse the negative trend. For Gilardino, the match against Parma represents a crucial opportunity to demonstrate his ability to lead the team towards positive results. The other SerieA teams, with their coaching changes, are trying to stabilize the situation and find the right formula to recover points.
