Hellas Verona said Tuesday that they
have sacked coach Eusebio Di Francesco after they lost their
first three games of the campaign, including Monday's 1-0 defeat
at Bologna, making him the first coach in Serie A to be
dismissed this season.
Fellow strugglers Cagliari, meanwhile, look set to fire their
coach, Leonardo Semplici, too.
Former AS Roma boss Di Francesco is expected to be replaced by
Igor Tudor.
The former Croatian defender is reportedly in talks with
Juventus to terminate his contract with them after he served as
former Juve boss Andrea Pirlo's assistant last season.
Cagliari have decided to remove Semplici after the team
surrendered a two-goal led in Sunday's 3-2 home defeat against
Genoa, sources said.
The Sardinian team have one point from three games.
