€73 Million Wasted! Venezia Scoreless in Four Rounds, Stroppa's Job on the Ticking Clock

Venezia failed to earn a single point in the first four Serie A rounds, leaving head coach Paolo Stroppa facing the risk of being sacked. This Saturday's match against Lazio is crucial, after which the league will enter a three-week break, during which the club will evaluate the coaching staff. The €73 million invested this summer has fallen short of expectations, but General Manager Antonelli has expressed support for Stroppa. His contract has already been extended through 2029, with the possibility of extension to 2030 if the club successfully avoids relegation. Midfield mainstay Buch is out for three months with a muscle injury, and the club is looking for replacements from the free agent market, with candidates including Bissouma, Dahoud, Ndombele, and Akpa-Akpro.
