Aquilani on the brink at Sassuolo after five straight defeats
Roberto D’Aversa and Vincenzo Montella are the names being floated as replacements, and a decision could come during the international break.
The future of Alberto Aquilani on the Sassuolo bench is hanging by a thread. The Neroverdi have lost five league matches in a row, the last a 3-0 defeat to Roma, and have taken no points from their last five outings. The definitive decision could come today.
Two names are on the table: Roberto D’Aversa, the favourite according to Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, and Vincenzo Montella, who that same broadcaster says was in the stands at the Stadio Olimpico for the Roma game, just like D’Aversa. Neither has been formally approached by the club yet, and Aquilani is under contract until the summer of 2028.
After the defeat, Aquilani told the broadcaster that his side showed no courage on the ball and that he is responsible. He added that he has not yet spoken to the directors and that he has to be judged on results.
