Aquilani sacked by Sassuolo after disastrous five-match losing run
Sassuolo have officially parted ways with head coach Alberto Aquilani following a dismal run of form in the Italian top flight. The decision comes in the wake of a crushing 3-0 defeat against his former club Roma on Saturday, ending a brief and difficult tenure for the former midfielder.
Sassuolo have sacked head coach Alberto Aquilani following a string of five consecutive defeats in Serie A. The former Roma and Liverpool midfielder was relieved of his duties after a 3-0 loss to his former club on Saturday. Aquilani's tenure, which began in the summer, saw him manage the team through a difficult period, culminating in the disastrous run of form.
Despite a promising start with a 3-2 victory over Juventus, the team quickly fell into a rut, suffering seven defeats and only four wins across all competitions. The coach's departure comes as Sassuolo currently sit 17th in the Serie A standings, just one point above the relegation zone, with their next match against Genoa set for November 22.
