Sassuolo parts ways with head coach Alberto Aquilani

Sassuolo officially parted ways with head coach Alberto Aquilani on November 9, 2026, following a tenure that failed to meet the club's expectations. Although Aquilani achieved notable results against major teams like Juventus and Milan during his time at the Italian club, his overall performance ultimately led management to seek a change in direction.

Following the dismissal, the club announced on November 11, 2026, that they have already identified and secured a successor to lead the technical staff. The leadership change is intended to reorganize the team's structure and stabilize performance levels as Sassuolo prepares for the upcoming phase of the season.
