Camolese in for Orsi at Livorno

Giancarlo Camolese has been unveiled as the new AS Livorno Calcio coach after Fernando Orsi was sacked following a disappointing start to the Serie A campaign by the Tuscan side.

Camolese eager
Orsi departed yesterday with the club marooned at the foot of the table after suffering a third successive defeat against Catania Calcio at the weekend, though Livorno chairman Aldo Spinelli admitted it was a difficult decision. "Orsi didn't deserve to be dismissed," he said. "But our fans were really disappointed with the poor results and they think it was his fault." Camolese, 46, will step into the breach and having had previous spells at Torino FC, Reggina Calcio and Vicenza Calcio, he is raring to go. "I'm looking forward to it," said Camolese. "As soon as I can I will put on a tracksuit, go to the training ground and start working with the players." He will have his first taste of action against S.S. Lazio on 21 October.
