De Biasi replaces Marino at Udinese

(GSM) – Udinese have parted company with their coach, Pasquale Marino. The Udine based club already has a new manager: Gianni de Biasi is the new coach of the Zebrette, who are just five points clear of the relegation zone.

A statement on the club’s official website reads: “The club would like to thank mister Marino for his contribution to the club in the two and a half year he worked for us.”

De Biasi, who previously worked for Brescia, Torino and Spanish club Levante, will be presented to the press this afternoon.

With their new manager, Udinese hopes to return to the high level of the past seasons when they finished seventh in the Serie A (2007/2008 and 2008/2009).
