Sassuolo have officially parted ways with head coach Alberto Aquilani following a dismal run of form in the Italian top flight. The decision comes in the wake of a crushing 3-0 defeat against his former club Roma on Saturday, ending a brief and difficult tenure for the former midfielder.
Gian Piero Gasperini was in a jovial mood after watching his Roma side dismantle Sassuolo to temporarily move into second place in the Serie A standings. With the Nerazzurri set to face Como on Sunday evening, the veteran manager couldn't resist a classic Italian football joke about exactly how he plans to follow the match.
Former Lazio forward Hernan Crespo believes his old side have the mentality required to capture their first Serie A title since the 1999-00 campaign following Tuesday's emphatic 6-2 triumph at Sassuolo. The Argentine legend credited head coach Gennaro Gattuso for transforming the Rome outfit while demanding an apology from his detractors.
