As expected, Sassuolo have appointed former Palermo and Udinese boss Beppe Iachini as their new Coach.

A statement on Sassuolo’s official website adds Iachini will be unveiled to the Press on Tuesday at 12:00 CET.

Reports suggest the 54-year-old has signed a contract with the Neroverdi until June 2019 after Cristian Bucchi was sacked earlier on Monday.

Iachini is a promotion specialist, having taken Chievo, Brescia, Sampdoria and Palermo to Serie A, but is more known for wearing a cap.

Cristian Bucchi has been sacked as Coach of Sassuolo, freeing up former Palermo boss Beppe Iachini for the role.

The news was confirmed in a statement on Sassuolo’s official website after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Verona left them without a home win in 2017-18.

The former Serie B hitman had big shoes to fill over the summer, replacing Roma-bound Eusebio Di Francesco.

However, nine defeats in 14 matches left the Neroverdi just a point above the relegation zone.

There are reports Sassuolo have fired Coach Cristian Bucchi and brought in former Udinese and Palermo boss Beppe Iachini.

The 2-0 home defeat to 10-man Hellas Verona on Saturday proved to be the final straw.

According to multiple sources, a meeting was set up with Iachini today to agree personal terms for a contract to June 2019 and an announcement is imminent.

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.

Cristian Bucchi insists “a Coach can train tactics and fitness, but not character” after Sassuolo crumbled to a 2-0 home defeat against Verona.

The Neroverdi were unable to get a goal back at the Mapei Stadium even after Hellas went down to 10 men.

“Unfortunately, the same things keep happening and our problem is a lack of character,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

The Neroverdi have been dire this season and sorely missed Coach Eusebio Di Francesco following his move to Roma.

Cagliari are believed to be on the verge of sacking Coach Massimo Rastelli, following four defeats in a row.

The Isolani were beaten 3-2 at home by Genoa at the weekend, continuing a poor run of form which has seen them slump to 13th in Serie A.

According to Sky, the board have taken the decision to fire Rastelli, with an official announcement expected later today.

Former Palermo boss Beppe Iachini is thought to be first in line to replace the outgoing Coach, with Massimo Oddo also being considered.
