In February, the Swede Oscar Hiljemark left “safe” Elfsborg, and signed as the new head coach of Serie A club Pisa. The mission was to save the Tuscan club from relegation. Four months later, the 33-year-old is labelled “the club’s lowest level by a coach”.
Pisa was relegated to Serie B, Hiljemark’s result with the club was 13 losses in 15 games. On Monday, it was officially announced that the Swedish coach had resigned.
