The team that finished in fourth place in the Italian Serie A championship and qualified for the UEFA Champions League tournament announced today that their new head coach is Serse Cosmi.

Former Genoa coach will replace Luciano Spalletti, who managed to lead the team to the UEFA Champions League.

Initially, Udinese was linked with former coach Paulo Le Guen, but ultimately the Italian team chose Serse Cosmi as their candidate.

Along with Cosmi, Udinese also welcomed former forward Saadi Al Gaddafi. The 32-year-old son of the Libyan dictator has just completed his suspension, which he received after failing a doping test.

It's worth mentioning that before moving to Perugia two years ago, Gaddafi did not play for any professional club.
