Five Serie A clubs still without coaches, Di Francesco heading to Lecce

According to Tuttomercatoweb, five Serie A clubs are still searching for coaches for the 2025-2026 season — this situation could potentially affect the future of Indonesia national team captain Jay Idzes at Venezia.

Eusebio Di Francesco is in final negotiations with Lecce — the club that finished 17th last season after parting ways with Marco Giampaolo. This move opens the door for Giovanni Stroppa — who recently left Cremonese to take over the coaching position at Venezia.

Meanwhile, Jay Idzes himself has attracted interest from several Serie A clubs following Venezia’s relegation to Serie B.

• Inter Milan
• Atalanta
• Fiorentina
• Bologna
• Torino

The official announcement regarding Stroppa’s appointment as Venezia’s new coach is expected to be made this weekend.
