Udinese sack head coach Kosta Runjaic following a poor run of results, and move to replace him with Paolo Zanetti. Several reports say the decision follows a string of league defeats that leaves the club sliding toward the relegation zone.

Free Malaysia Today focuses on the extent of the downturn, highlighting that Udinese lost seven of their last eight league matches and dropped into relegation positions, while Football Italia and Yahoo Sports emphasise the “official” appointment process and the timing around the sacking. Yahoo Sports also notes Runjaic’s post-match reaction as he comments on the situation.

Across outlets, Zanetti is presented as the incoming coach, with Football Italia describing him as lined up and already set to take over. Yahoo Sports adds detail that Zanetti signs a contract through 30 June 2027, while other pieces concentrate more on the replacement being made and the immediate consequence for Runjaic. Overall, the coverage converges on the same coaching change, with differences mainly in how they describe its timing, official status, and supporting context.
