“During a cordial telephone conversation on Saturday afternoon, Coach Zdenek Zeman confirmed to President Angelo Renzetti that he does not intend to accept the FC Lugano job next season, thanking him for the experience and wishing the club all the best,” read a statement.

“The club recognises his intentions and thanks him for the contribution of charisma, passion and professionalism during the season.

“Thanks to Zeman and his staff, FC Lugano improved visibility and achieved important sporting results, such as maintaining its place in the Super League and qualifying for the Swiss Cup Final.”

Crotone have just been promoted to Serie A for the first time in their history, but Coach Ivan Juric is expected to join Genoa.

As for Pescara, they are in the promotion play-off final against Trapani, but could well keep current boss Massimo Oddo if they do step up to the top flight.
