Match Preview :

Interesting match as Cagliari visit on form Torino with not one but two new Coaches in their side, after the departure of Massimo Ficcadenti.

This happened after on Tuesday when Ficcadenti resigned with his Cagliari side bottom of Serie A having managed just two points from six games so far.

Originally his replacement was supposed to be Ivo Pulga, but President Massimo Cellino wanted to appoint Diego Lopez, former Coach of the Isolani’s Primavera team. However, due to a lack of the appropriate licence he is unable to be the main coach but instead be Pulga's assistant instead.

In truth Lopez is the boss but since he is unable to get the license so he is just given the title of assistant coach. This is a similar case to when Livorno had when they appointed Vittorio Russo as a surrogate for Gennaro Ruotolo in season 2009-10.

Cagliari have yet to win this season with an 0-2-4 3:11 record.

Torino meanwhile had a good start to the season and had wiped out the -1 point deduction they received at the start of the season. Torino have a 2-3-1 record,

Torino are currently in sixth spot now after their surprise win away from home against Atalanta when they won with a handsome 5-1 scoreline.

They scored more goals in that match itself then they have had previously in their other five games! The good news is Alessio Cerci is happy with his form coming into this match.
