Filippo Inzaghi back in Serie A after being hired by Salernitana
SALERNO, ITALY (AP) » World Cup-winning forward Filippo Inzaghi is back coaching in Serie A after being hired by Salernitana on Tuesday.
Salernitana announced that it had fired Pauolo Sousa and replaced him with Inzaghi, the older brother of Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi.
Salernitana lost 3-0 at Monza on Sunday for its third straight defeat without scoring a goal. It has only three points from three draws in eight matches and sits just above bottom club Cagliari.
Inzaghi’s first match in charge will be against Cagliari after the international break.
The 50-year-old Inzaghi has been out of work since leaving Reggina in the offseason after the club was excluded from Serie B because of financial irregularities. He had led them into the promotion playoffs last season.
