Sassuolo parts ways with manager Aquilani after poor Serie A start
Italian football club Sassuolo has terminated manager Alberto Aquilani's contract following a disappointing spell that saw the team slip into the Serie A relegation battle. The managerial change comes after a run of five consecutive defeats left the club languishing in 17th position.

Sassuolo's decision to sack Aquilani ended his brief tenure with the Serie A club after just 13 matches at the helm. The Italian manager's departure marks a significant moment for the struggling outfit as they attempt to reverse their fortunes in the top flight.
The Emilia-Romagna-based club's position has become increasingly precarious, with Aquilani's side occupying 17th place and sitting precariously just one point above the relegation zone. The sequence of five straight defeats proved to be the decisive factor in the boardroom's decision to make a change in the dugout.
Aquilani's exit represents the latest chapter in what has been a challenging campaign for Sassuolo. The club now faces the task of finding a replacement capable of steering the team away from potential relegation and back to competitive form in the coming weeks.
