Soccer: Colantuono replaces Castori at Salernitana

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 18 - New Salernitana coach Stefano Colantuono has said Serie A's basement side can avoid the drop to the second tier after becoming their new coach.
    On Sunday the Salerno side sacked Fabrizio Castori, who last term led them to promotion to the top flight for the first time in 23 years.
    They currently have four points from eight Serie A games after losing 2-1 at Spezia on Saturday.
    It is the second stint on the Salernitana bench for the much-travelled Colantuono.
    "I'm very happy to return to Salerno, where I was really happy and had to move on for family reasons," Colantuono said.
    "I think there are all the necessary conditions to be able to do an excellent job and hit the target of survival". (ANSA).
