Sassuolo announced the managerial change on Monday, removing Aquilani from his post as the club battles to avoid dropping into Italy's second tier. The decision comes after a damaging sequence of results that has left Sassuolo positioned just one point above the relegation places.
The Emilia-Romagna based club, which competes in Serie A, has struggled significantly under Aquilani's stewardship. The five-game losing streak that precipitated his departure represents a critical juncture in what has been a challenging season for the organization.
Aquilani's exit marks another managerial change in what is shaping up to be a turbulent campaign for Sassuolo. The club will now seek to stabilize its position in the league standings as it searches for a replacement to guide the team through the remainder of the season and help navigate the relegation battle.
No immediate announcement regarding a successor has been made by the club.
