FC Südtirol - Lumezzane: Will it be the game of fate for D'Anna? - UPDATE

A win from four games, four points on the credit side and a lot of work to do in the team structure. This is the current state of affairs at FC Südtirol. Those responsible started the season with completely different requirements. The fans and those around the club quickly identified the main culprit for the botched league start: Lorenzo D'Anna.

So far he has not managed to give the FCS game a clear line. The players seem unsettled and sometimes disoriented due to the system changes and personnel changes. But after just two defeats this season and the cup exit, isn't it far too early to start looking at the coaching chair? The people in the management team at FC Südtirol, who are united behind the coach, are also asking themselves this question. So far. Because another defeat could also persuade President Walter Baumgartner and managing director Dietmar Pfeifer to change their minds.

Dietmar Pfeifer: “The situation is under control”

“We are all disappointed, no question about it. However, it would be wrong to attribute this to the trainer alone. Everyone in the team has to do a lot more,” explains Dietmar Pfeifer, who defends D’Anna: “In the last two years, too, we started the season slowly. Now the expectations among the fans, but also within the club itself, have risen sharply. The difference is that the officials in the club have an insight into daily events and can get a very precise picture. As a result, the situation is under control.” D'Anna wants to justify the familiarity with a “threesome” against Lumezzane on Sunday. Compared to Wednesday's cup defeat against Renate, he will change the team in numerous positions. Only the defensive players Bassoli and Tagliani, as well as striker Dell'Agnello, will start again from the start. The FCS coach has the greatest hopes for game designer Alessandro Campo, who has had an outstanding season so far.

Lumezzane on the rise

Sunday's opponent, AC Lumezzane, is in eleventh place in the table, immediately behind FC Südtirol. The Lombards also have four points. After a very bad start to the season with zero points and seven goals conceded from the first two games, Lumezzane recently found his way and has now been unbeaten for two rounds. FCS fans will see a reunion with former White-Red defender Mauro Belotti on Sunday. Another well-known player from the guests is Simone Andrea Ganz, the highly talented son of ex-Milan player Maurizio Ganz.
