The club thanked Aquilani and his staff for their effort and professionalism.
The club has already begun initial contact with potential successors. Roberto D'Aversa and Vincenzo Montella are the main candidates, with both managers having been present at the Olimpico on Saturday to watch Sassuolo's match against Roma. This is the sixth managerial sacking in Serie A in just over two months of the season.
