Sassuolo will meet with Beppe Iachini today, as Coach Cristian Bucchi is set for the axe after a 2-0 home defeat to Verona.

The Neroverdi had until now publicly backed their tactician, in his debut top flight campaign, but the performance against Hellas on Saturday was the final straw.

According to multiple sources, a meeting has been set up with Iachini today and an announcement is expected at most tomorrow.

Sassuolo will meet with Beppe Iachini today, as Coach Cristian Bucchi is set for the axe after a 2-0 home defeat to Verona.

The Neroverdi had until now publicly backed their tactician, in his debut top flight campaign, but the performance against Hellas on Saturday was the final straw.

According to multiple sources, a meeting has been set up with Iachini today and an announcement is expected at most tomorrow.

Iachini is most famous for his baseball cap, which he wears to protect his eyes from the light due to an ocular condition, and had several spells on the Palermo bench.

Bucchi essentially sealed his fate with post-match comments yesterday, stating “our problem is a lack of character. A Coach can train tactics and fitness, but not character.”

Since taking over from Eusebio Di Francesco this summer, Bucchi has managed only three wins, two draws and nine losses.

More than that, the performances even in victory were never convincing and they’ve scored just eight goals in 14 games, conceding 25.
