As reported by Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio earlier today, the 43-year-old Italian coach chose to remain with the club, who he led to a successful debut season in Serie A this campaign.

After a first positive meeting yesterday between Italiano and Spezia’s management, the two parties met again today to confirm the situation and begin planning ahead for the future.
There were no economic issues regarding his contract with the club and so Italiano will continue to oversee Spezia for next season, rebuffing the interest from both Lazio and Hellas Verona.
