Sassuolo fire coach Alberto Aquilani after a brief stint in charge, with the team’s poor run of results prompting an early change. Multiple outlets report that Aquilani’s time as Sassuolo boss ends after a series of consecutive defeats.
Outlet accounts differ slightly on how long he lasted in Serie A—some cite 11 matches, others 13—while all mention that Sassuolo sit close to the relegation places when the decision is made. Free Malaysia Today adds that the club is 17th, one point above the relegation zone.
Football Italia frames the decision as an official announcement following five straight defeats, emphasizing the immediate trigger. Soccer News also focuses on Aquilani’s dismissal as his first step into top-flight coaching comes to an end quickly.
