ROME (Reuters) - Filippo Inzaghi could lead Brescia to the top of Serie B on Sunday but the manager has faced extraordinary levels of disruption to his preparations after the club reportedly tried to sack him, only to be stopped by a contract clause.

The Lombardy team head into their clash with relegation battling visitors Alessandria at the Stadio Rigamonti in third place, two points off top spot.
