By Football Italia staff

Serie B side Spezia have officially appointed Udinese legend Antonio Di Natale to their backroom staff.

A statement on Spezia’s official website confirms Di Natale has been taken on as a consultant and ‘technical collaborator’, working with their first team.

The former Italy striker is sixth on the list of all-time Serie A goalscorers, with 191 of his 209 goals coming for Udinese.

The 40-year-old also worked under Spezia boss Pasquale Marino at Friuli, while this marks his first non-playing role since retiring in 2016.

The Aquilotti, for their part, have opened the new Serie B season with a win and a loss.
