Already in the week of the start of the training, the Ticino Challenge League club will be dismissed twice. Sports director Ezequiel Carboni (41), who has just been brought in for the new season, and coach Giovanni Zichella (56), who was also hired two weeks ago, have already left.
–
The reason for the first scandal of the new season: Between the Argentine Carboni and the Italian Zichella there was a crash on the first day of training. Because the sports director openly announces that he is actually training the team and that he intends to make the lineups for the games. And not coach Zichella.

The arbitration attempt fails
An affront for the new coach. He protests in his own way: Zichella stays away from training on the second day and instead posts a picture of him lying on the beach in Italy. Nicola Bignotti, the strong man in the club, said to RSI: “We will try to fix the break between the two.”

But the relationship between Ex-Red Bull Salzburg player Carboni and Zichella, which was destroyed in record time, cannot be repaired. On Thursday Chiasso kicked both of them out again. The problem with would-be coach Carboni: He doesn’t have the necessary diplomas for the Challenge League.

Chiasso is now preparing for the season with an old friend. The Italian Baldo Raineri (57) has already trained the South Ticino twice, as well as Bellinzona and other smaller clubs in the canton.
