The Italian team, until now coached by the Italian Moreno Longo, beat Ascoli this weekend (0-1) and is sixth in the Second Division table. However, the board explained “the best thing” is to make “a dynamic change” on the bench.

From the Como ownership group, they thanked Longo for “all his work and dedication”, before “embarking on a new path” that generates “more excitement and entertainment for the fans” with the help of the former Spanish soccer player.

Thus, it will be the first adventure of the European and world champion with the Spanish team as first coach, with the difficult challenge of promoting Como to Serie A, a club from which he retired as a footballer in 2023, after completing his last year. as a professional. After that, he took charge of the Italian team’s subsidiary team, of which he now takes the reins.
