Serie A strugglers Cremonese appoint Giampaolo as manager to replace Nicola

Marco Giampaolo replaces Davide Nicola after Cremonese's 15-game winless streak left them third from bottom in Serie A, three points from safety.

  • On March 18, 2026, Cremonese appointed Marco Giampaolo as manager after sacking Davide Nicola following a 15-game winless run.
  • After a strong opening run losing just one of nine matches, Cremonese's slide accelerated with 11 defeats in 15 games, leaving them third from bottom and three points behind 17th-placed Lecce.
  • Giampaolo's past includes coaching Cremonese in 2015 in the third tier, managing AC Milan, Torino, Sampdoria, and guiding Lecce to survival last season.
  • Marco Giampaolo inherits a short run-in of nine matches to save the club, with an immediate away trip to Parma on Saturday as the first big challenge.
  • As a promoted side from the Serie B playoffs, Cremonese's season has swung dramatically, featuring former Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and enduring a winless streak since early December against Lecce.
