Five Straight Defeats Push Sassuolo Board Toward Managerial Change
US Sassuolo Calcio directors are evaluating the immediate dismissal of head coach Alberto Aquilani following a 3-0 defeat against AS Roma on November 7 at the Stadio Olimpico. The loss marks the club’s fifth consecutive Serie A defeat, leaving the squad with a record of four victories, two draws, and seven defeats across all competitions this season.

Aquilani, who was appointed in the summer to replace Fabio Grosso following previous managerial stints at Pisa and Catanzaro, now faces a operational review by the club’s board ahead of the upcoming international break.
