Lecce seem to have decided on their new coach for the 2025-26 season, as an agreement has been reportedly reached with Eusebio Di Francesco.
The Salentini scraped a result on the final day of the campaign to stay in Serie A, having been at risk of relegation for weeks.
Nonetheless, Marco Giampaolo and the club had different ideas on how to progress and was dismissed on June 10.
There were interviews with several candidates for the role, but Di Francesco was immediately the favourite, as confirmed by Football Italia’s Alfredo Pedullà.
He had also been approached by Cremonese, but was already leaning towards the Stadio Via del Mare.
Tuttomercatoweb report this will be a one-year contract with option to extend based on Serie A safety.
