Sassuolo appoint D'Aversa as new manager to replace Aquilani
Summarised by MatchPal
D'Aversa replaces sacked Aquilani on a contract through June 2027, with Sassuolo fourth-bottom and facing Genoa on 22 November.
Roberto D'Aversa has been appointed Sassuolo manager, replacing the sacked Aquilani. The former Parma, Torino and Sampdoria coach has signed a contract until 30 June 2027 with no automatic renewal clause, pending signature in the coming hours.
Sassuolo sit fourth from bottom with just 8 points from 7 defeats. Their next match is a relegation battle against Genoa on Sunday 22 November at 15:00. D'Aversa, known for preferring a three-man defence throughout his career, will need to adapt to Sassuolo's established 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 systems built around attacking wingers like Berardi and Laurienté.
