Two coaches who were teammates in 2006 in Germany, when Italy won the World Cup for the last time. Inzaghi has been in Salerno since mid-October, has managed the team for 15 games and has a record of three wins and a draw, with nine losses.Both teams will play at Stadio Arechi without a significant number of first-team members. The home team misses Boulaye Dia, Lorenzo Pirlo, Lassana Coulibaly, Federico Fazio and Giovane Cabral. De Rossi cannot count on Chris Smalling, Evan Ndicka, Leonardo Spinazzola, Tammy Abraham, Marash Kumbulla, Renato Sanchez and Serdar Azmoun. At least Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, who served one match of suspension, return to the team.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 22Friday Cagliari – Torino 1-2 (0-2)/Viola 77 – Zapata 23, Ricci 45+3/Saturday Atalanta – Udinese 2-0 (2-0)/Miranchuk 33, Scammacca 45+1/Juventus – Empoli 1-1 (0-0)/Vlahovic 50 – Baldanzi 70/AC Milan – Bologna 2-2 (0-1)/Loftus-Cheek 45, 83 – Zirkzee 29, Orsolini 90+2 pen/Sunday Genoa – Lecce 2-1 (0-1)/Retegui 70, Ekuban 76 – Krstovic 31/Monza – Sassuolo 1-0 (1-0)/Colpani 31/Verona – Frosinone 1-1 (1-0)/Suslov 45+3 pen – Kaio Jorge 58/Lazio – Napoli 0-0Fiorentina -Inter 0-1 (0-1)/Martinez 14/Monday 22.45: (5.90) Salernitana (3.70) Roma (1.70)***odds are subject to change
