Struggling Serie A side Sassuolo sack coach Aquilani

Sassuolo has dismissed head coach Alberto Aquilani after a difficult start to the Serie A season, the club confirmed. Aquilani, a former Liverpool, Roma, and Italy midfielder, was appointed in the close season following his success in leading Catanzaro to the Serie B play-offs the previous season. However, his tenure lasted only 13 matches as Sassuolo currently sits 17th in the Italian top-flight table, just one point above the relegation zone. This is the sixth time a Serie A club has recently let go of their head coach.
