Roberto D'Aversa has been named new coach of Lecce.

D'Aversa takes charge after Marco Baroni left Lecce last week after new contract talks collapsed.

Lecce announced today: "The coach has signed a one-year agreement, with an option in the event of safety being achieved.

"The technical staff available to Mr. D'Aversa will include assistant coach Andrea Tarozzi, technical collaborator Salvatore Sullo, technical collaborator and match analyst Simone Greco, athletic trainer Danilo Massi, athletic trainer and injury recovery Giovanni De Luca and goalkeeper coach Luigi Sassanelli."
