Five losses in a row: Serie A club fires coach
The start of the season was promising, followed by a rapid slump. Now a former Turkey head coach could take over.
Alberto Aquilani is no longer the head coach of Serie A club US Sassuolo.
The 43-year-old only took over in the summer as successor to Fabio Grosso, and now he has already lost his job. The main reason is five defeats in their last five matches, including heavy losses against Lazio (2-6) and AS Roma (0-3).
Strong start to the season
Yet the start of the season under him had been promising: after four rounds, they had seven points to their name, highlighted by a 3-2 victory over Juventus. In addition, wins over Cesena and Frosinone saw them advance to the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.
Italian media have linked two names as potential successors: former Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella and Roberto D’Aversa (formerly of Torino).
