Lorenzo Sgarbi initially secured a starting position at Bari after transferring from Avellino in Serie C; however, he has been relegated to the bench following a series of lackluster performances and the arrival of Cesar Falletti. Coach Moreno Longo is reported to favor other players in Sgarbi's position. Tuttobari.com has indicated that the upcoming month and a half will be critical for Sgarbi to demonstrate his value to the team. If he fails to do so, a transfer might be considered when the window reopens in January.
