Pellegrino Matarazzo Begins Tenure as Real Sociedad Coach

Pellegrino Matarazzo, who was announced as the new head coach of Real Sociedad on the evening of the 21st, has already commenced work at Zubieta this Saturday afternoon alongside his assistants, Omer Toprak and John Maisano. Official training sessions with the txuri-urdin squad are set to begin on Monday at 11:00 AM, but it is clear that the Italian-American coach has considerable work ahead to lift the team from the lower ranks of the standings.

Matarazzo and his team need to finalize the training schedule for the first week, which has only been partially revealed. The initial session will take place on Monday at 11:00 AM inside the facilities, followed by practice on the field starting at 11:30 AM. The coach’s debut in LaLiga is scheduled for Sunday at 9:00 PM at Anoeta against Atlético de Madrid.
