Sassuolo have officially dismissed head coach Alberto Aquilani following a run of five consecutive defeats in Serie A. The dismissal comes after a 3-0 loss to his former club Roma, bringing his overall season record to four wins, two draws, and seven losses across Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
Aquilani was appointed over the summer to replace Fabio Grosso on a contract running through June 2028. Following his departure, Roberto D’Aversa is widely reported to be the favorite to take charge ahead of Vincenzo Montella, though the club has yet to announce a successor.
