Costacurta: "I thank the President"
Presented the new coach Virgilian.

A career in Milan and national speaks for itself. Alessandro Costacurta has now chosen the Mantova on his first experience as coach and was introduced in the early afternoon to the press. The President Lori explained the reasons for this change driving technique: "I'm sorry for Bruce - he said - and I thank him for all he has done in Mantua. It would have been easier to make a decision after the match in Rimini, but I preferred because in my opinion it is better to start from the beginning a new chapter. Costacurta By now we have made in agreement and the coach has signed a two-year agreement, a sign that the company believes in him and in the draft that we move forward together " . And here are the first statements by the new coach : "The Mantova - he explains - is a company that has always fascinated me, the president is young and ambitious. I thank him very much for this opportunity because it is not easy to assign a team of B to a newcomer . I am filled with enthusiasm and optimism, this Mantova has a chance to fight for something important, for this I am convinced of my choice. On the tactical form say that in general I like to play defense with four and 4-2-3 -1 Is a module that could fit. The fundamental thing is that the team play with intensity and aggressiveness, catching the winning mentality. Anyway those are all tactical choices that assess in the coming days. Among the players know Locatelli, with which I played in Milan which grew in the nursery rossonero. "

Rimini 1-0 Mantova
It’s a bad start to Alessandro ‘Billy’ Costacurta’s coaching career, as he begins with a defeat at the Stadio Neri. It was another unimpressive performance from Mantova, who were sunk by Ricchiuti’s first half strike on a Frara assist. Ricchiuti nearly made it 2-0 in the second half, as Rimini fully deserved the points.
Scorers: Ricchiuti 36 (R)

Mantova 2-1 Grosseto
Billy Costacurta celebrates his first victory as a professional Coach and dooms leaders Grosseto to a defeat that nonetheless keeps them top of the table. Locatelli got his head to a Passoni free kick for the opener and Godeas had a goal ruled offside before doubling the advantage with another header. Grosseto made a valiant attempt to pinch a point following Carparelli’s strike, but could not avoid a second away loss on the trot.
Scorers: Locatelli 14 (M), Godeas 69 (M), Carparelli 78 (G)

He looks neat, and that man next to him looks like a homeless old man. Good luck billy, but i won't hope he'll get to the Serie-A soon. I can't watch Milan getting humiliated by their own former star. :D

Giusseppe Signori with 10 more years and really long hair, the smoking has done him no good.

Seeing the result got me a smile, seriously I hope Billy does great and that one day we'll see him coaching our team.

Serie B: Away we go!
There were six away wins in Serie B today, including Mantova's shocker at Albinoleffe and Piacenza surprising Brescia.

They won 1-2. Great job Costacurta!

Albinoleffe 1-2 Mantova
Billy Costacurta's management career continues to gain momentum with a second consecutive win, as Mantova took a surprise scalp by fighting back to defeat Albinoleffe on their own turf. Carobbio had seemingly put Leffe in control with a left-foot strike, but Costacurta made an inspired substitution with Corona changing the game. He equalised from distance and helped the move that allowed Godeas to get a diving header to Rizzi's cross for victory.
Scorers: Carobbio 36 (A), Corona 78 (M), Godeas 83 (M)
Albinoleffe: Coser; Garlini, Gervasoni, Conteh, Renzetti; Madonna (Geroni 84), Caremi (Serafini 75), Carobbio, Laner (Cristiano 64); Ruopolo, Ferrari
Mantova: Handanovic; Sacchetti, Notari, Cristante, Balestri; Passoni, Grauso; Tarana, Locatelli (Corona 68), Sedivec (Rizzi 81); Goadeas (Spinale 94)

The first situation he scored first and keep it to the end and the second he came
from defeat 1-0 to 1-2 and the last one he win with 10 men

Actually, Mantova finished the game with nine guys. They had a second player sent off in the 81st. But yes, it was a very good win, playing with 10 guys from the 35th minute on and then with 9 for the last minutes of the game. It seems Billy has found a good way of motivating his players.

Mantova are (temporarily) in 5th in Serie B; the rest of the games are yet to be played. Things look promising, though!
