With all the speculation going around since Latics decided to part company with Dave Penney the other week, we at the Boundary Boo's have been trying to get as close as we can to the action than any other forms. Last night whilst we send in our undercover reporter Darren Beckford into the club disguised as Mark Allott and we discovered some shocking new developments.
It turns out that Latics are set to unveil non other than Salvatore "Toto" Schillaci as Dave Penney's successor in the hot seat at Boundary Park.
Schillaci (45) played for Juventus and Internazionale during a 15 year career, where he made a name for himself scoring 6 goals for his native country during the 1990 World Cup and winning the Golden Boot, the 1990 World Cup is still well remembered today by Italian football fans as the Notti Magiche di Totò Schillaci (magical nights of Totò Schillaci), even though the Italian national team did not win the World Cup at home.
Schillaci has not been coaching youngsters in Sicily since he left Japanese club Júbilo Iwata in 1997, has expressed an interest to work in England especially since his old friend and former mentor Fabio Capello has been in charge of the national team.
Oldham Athletic Managing Director Simon Corney said "This is very exciting for the football club, we can hopefully use this as a springboard for future success and move onwards and upwards".
