Roberto D’Aversa has agreed to take charge of Italian Serie A side Sassuolo until the end of the 2026/27 season, following the dismissal of Alberto Aquilani.
The 51-year-old Italian coach is set to return to Serie A after agreeing a deal to replace Aquilani, who was relieved of his duties on Monday, November 9, 2026.
Reports indicate that D’Aversa’s contract will run until June 2027, with the possibility of further discussions about his future after the season.
Aquilani dismissed after poor run
Sassuolo decided to part ways with Aquilani following a difficult run of results, which included five consecutive league defeats.
The final setback was a 3-0 loss to AS Roma on Saturday, November 7, leaving the club 17th in the Serie A standings with eight points after 11 matches.
The club confirmed Aquilani’s departure in an official statement, thanking him and his technical staff for their work.
D’Aversa returns to Serie A
D’Aversa has previously managed several Italian clubs, including Parma, Sampdoria, Lecce, Empoli and Torino.
His most recent spell was with Torino, whom he guided during the closing stages of the 2025/26 campaign.
He now faces the task of improving Sassuolo’s results and helping the club move away from the relegation zone.
Genoa match awaits new coach
Sassuolo are expected to resume their Serie A campaign against Genoa on November 22.
The match will provide D’Aversa with his first opportunity to lead the team as they seek to improve their position in the league.
