Sassuolo fired the Italian coach this Sunday Alessio Dionisi after a below-expected season in which they won just one game in 2024.
“Sassuolo Calcio announces that it has removed Alessio Dionisi from the position of head coach of the first team,” the ‘neroverde’ club announced.
An unexpected situation
Sassuolo, which only two seasons ago reached the European spots with colorful, attractive and effective football, is now mired in a crisis of play and results that have put it in 17th place, which with 20 points, just one away from relegation.
Furthermore, probably at the end of the season, his best player, the Italian Domenico Berardi, typical of the ‘azzurra’ calls, leave the club as the players did last season the French Maxime Lopez (Fiorentina), the Ivorian Hamed Traorè Junior (Naples) or the Italians Davide Frattesi (Inter) and Giacomo Raspadori (Naples), departures that weaken the sports project.
Few but notable achievements
‘neroverdi’ won only 1 game in 2024 and a total of 5 in the entire season of Serie A. Of course, among their victories are against Fiorentina, Inter and Juventus, teams at the top of the table.
“The club thanks the coach and his team for the commitment and seriousness shown to the ‘neroverdi’ leader and wishes him and his collaborators the best of luck for the future,” the club added.
The defeat that condemned him
Dionisi arrived in June 2021 and has a contract until 2025, but Saturday’s defeat at home (2-3) against Empoli, another team fighting for permanence, ended his journey at Sassuolo.
The team will be led, for now, by the reserve team coach, the Italian Emiliano Bigica.
