Struggling Sassuolo fire manager Aquilani
Sassuolo said the club had won only two of Aquilani’s first four league games before a seven-match winless run left it near the relegation zone.
- On Nov 9, Sassuolo sacked manager Alberto Aquilani following a run of five successive defeats that left the Italian club one point above the relegation zone.
- The 42-year-old former Liverpool player was appointed in June but failed to stabilize a squad with the worst defensive record in the top flight, conceding 29 goals in 11 games.

- Focus in Reggio Emilia has shifted to finding a successor, with former Parma and Lecce boss Roberto Aversa emerging as the clear frontrunner, though Vincenzo Montella is also being considered.
- Following the international break, Sassuolo will resume their league campaign by hosting Genoa on Nov 22 as they attempt to climb out of the relegation threat.
