Ficcadenti named Reggina coach

Massimo Ficcadenti has been named as new coach of Reggina.

Ficcadenti left Verona in December, but the Serie B club are unhappy he is joining Reggina.

"Verona had placed their veto on the deal, but at this stage that is null and void," explained Reggina president Lillo Foti. "With their relegated into Serie C, the contract between Ficcadenti and Verona has lost its validity.

"The agreement was written with precise terms to take charge of the squad in Serie A or B. Now there are no more obstacles. We will officially present out new Coach on July 1."
