Bari, after being relegated to Serie C, decided to change course: Valerio Di Cesare will no longer be the sporting director of the Pugliese club, with the parties working on a consensual resolution of the relationship. The information is provided by AntennaSud, which explains that the decision to part ways with the former captain represents a new step in the club's restructuring process, in preparation for the next season. Bari's future is uncertain, as it depends on a possible playoff for Serie B, which is linked to Juve Stabia's situation. Di Cesare began his career managing the club just a few months after his retirement from football, having helped Bari secure their place in the playoffs against Ternana in the 2023/24 season. After a year and a half, his experience in Biancorosso ends. For the next championship, Bari will have to look not only for a coach, but also for a management figure who can lead the market and the team's technical programming, in addition to relaunching the ambitions of a club that, if it plays in Serie C, will have the obligation to win promotion.
