Rumor

RUMOR - Serge Pelletier serves currently as HC Ambrì-Piotta's head coach and team manager, a fact that is about to change, as the Neue Luzerner Zeitung reports. President Filippo Lombardi is looking for another team manager.

Apparently, the process of that decision has already been advanced that far that the signing of a new team manager will be in the immediate future. Several names have come up for the position, among them Nicola Celio (42, former HCAP player), Régis Fuchs (45, (reportedly former) team manager HC La Chaux-de-Fonds) and Paolo Duca, 33.

However, as the NLZ speculates, the candiate with the best chances might be Ivano Zanatta, the former assistant coach of the now folded KHL-team HC Lev Praha and of course former assistant and head coach of HC Lugano. The 55-year-old had already been rumored to be interested in HC Fribourg-Gottéron's head coach position, after Hans Kossmann had been let go. (mso)
