"Udinese would also like to communicate to have given the role of first team coach to Gianni De Biasi who will be unveiled at the Stadio Fruili later today."
The appointment comes following a meeting between president Giampaolo Pozzo and De Biasi at his private residence this morning. The sacking has been in the pipeline following a poor run from the Zebrette.
On Saturday Pozzo had warned Marino that he "would be taking action" if the team's results didn't improve. Marino responded to his boss claiming "Pozzo didn't know the reality of the situation".
Sky Sport Italia claims this incident, as well as a strained relationship led to the coach being sacked.
De Biasi will be tasked with reviving fortunes at the club following a slide down the table. Marino is the tenth sacking in Italy this term.
