Nevio Orlandi is happy to be back in charge of Reggina.

Orlandi has returned to the Serie A strugglers following the dismissal of Bepi Pillon yesterday.

"I'm hoping to find a group that I know with the same motivation that I have and the desire to secure their Serie A status," Orlandi declared.

"The call from Reggina was unexpected and very welcome. However, I am disappointed that the club's position has become even more difficult in recent weeks."

Orlandi must prepare his men to take on Torino in a crucial mid-week encounter.

"I am starting again with a real six-pointer and we must treat it as that," the returning boss said.

"I'm convinced that the lads will go out there full of desire and with the right level of rage after the last defeat."
