Struggling Serie A side Sassuolo sack coach Aquilani
Alberto Aquilani lasted just 13 matches in charge, after five straight defeats left Sassuolo in 17th place, just one point above the relegation zone.
Sassuolo, a struggling Serie A side, has dismissed head coach Alberto Aquilani, marking the sixth time this season that a club has let go of their coach in the Italian top-flight. Aquilani, the former midfielder of Liverpool, Roma, and Italy, was appointed in the close-season after guiding Catanzaro to the Serie B play-offs. His tenure in Sassuolo lasted just 13 matches, following a string of five consecutive losses that placed the team 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.
Sassuolo confirmed the dismissal of Aquilani and his staff, issuing a brief statement two days after a 3-0 defeat at Roma. This marks the latest in a series of recent dismissals in Serie A, starting with the sacking of Fabio Grosso by Fiorentina just three games into the season.
