Udinese hire De Agostini
Tuesday 2 January, 2007
Former Italian international left-back Luigi De Agostini has been named as the new team manager of Udinese.

The Serie A side made the surprise announcement this evening as the club’s backroom staff reconstruction continues.

De Agostini, who played for Udinese, will act as a middleman between the squad and Coach Giovanni Galeone.

The ex-player, who was born in April 1961, also appeared for Trento, Catanzaro, Verona, Juventus, Inter and Reggiana during his career.

De Agostini, a 1990 World Cup star who missed in the semi-final penalty shoot-out against Argentina, will be unveiled to the media at a Press conference on Wednesday morning.

The media gathering will also be used as an official presentation for Aleksandar Lukovic. The Serbian defender, 24, has returned to the club after being loaned to Ascoli last summer.
