Roberto De Zerbi confirmed he “will not be the Coach of Benevento” next season after offers from Cagliari and Sassuolo.
The former Palermo tactician took over in October, but although results did improve after the January transfer window, it was not enough to avoid relegation.
“Next season, I will not be the Coach of Benevento,” confessed De Zerbi in today’s Press conference.
The decision had already been in the air following interest from Cagliari and Sassuolo.

“I don’t know if it’s the right decision, but it’s the one I made in good faith and informed the club of circa a month ago, after the game with Cagliari.
“It wasn’t an easy choice to make, because I found people here that I really got on with. I am confident the rapport with President Vigorito, his family, the director of sport Foggia and the staff will continue.
“I have been treated well and on Sunday I was moved to see the fans recognise the hard work the team put in this season. I came to Benevento hoping to save the club from relegation, but all of us could not have done any more. I leave knowing I gave it everything.
“The President treated me like a son and I treated him like a father. As for my future, the club knows who called me.”
