Cosmi named as new Lecce boss

Di Francesco took over as Lecce boss over the summer, but has failed to transform the side that narrowly avoided relegation from the top flight last season.

A club statement read: “US Lecce announce the collaboration with Eusebio Di Francesco has been resolved today. We wish to express a sincere thanks for the work done until now.

“US Lecce also confirm an agreement has been reached with Serse Cosmi to take control of the first team.”
