Sassuolo sack Alberto Aquilani after 8 points in 11 rounds

Sassuolo have decided to part ways with Alberto Aquilani as head coach. The Neroverdi have officially announced that the coach and his whole staff have been relieved of their duties, thanking them for their commitment and professionalism. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the decision is now official.

The numbers explain the exit: 8 points from 11 matchdays, with two wins, two draws and seven defeats, the last one at the Olimpico against his former club, Gasperini's Roma. According to Tuttosport, the team also arrives after five straight defeats, conceding at least two goals per game, and sits 17th, just one point above the relegation zone.

For the replacement, Corriere dello Sport puts Vincenzo Montella at the top of the list, while Tuttosport points to Roberto D'Aversa as the hottest name. A decision is expected within hours, so the successor has time to get to know the squad before the crucial clash with De Rossi's Genoa on Sunday 22 November at 15:00 in Reggio Emilia.
