Walter Zenga has been named new coach of Crotone.

Zenga has stepped in for Davide Nicola, who resigned as coach earlier this week.

“Staying up is Crotone's objective," Zenga said at his presentation this evening.

“This team has its own precise identity, which shouldn't be changed at all. Our situation isn't dramatic, but this shock destabilised things.

“First we'll work to bring the group back together, then to stay in the division.

“I thank Davide Nicola for the extraordinary work he did here, which will never be forgotten. I hope to do the same.

“When you take a job midway through the season you can't change too much, so there will be no distortion."
