Former Juventus star Antonio Conte’s first Coaching job has already ended, as he was fired by Arezzo.
The Serie B club announced the news this evening and appointed ex-Pescara boss Maurizio Sarra.
The ex-midfielder had been hanging in the balance following a dismal start to the Serie B campaign, in which they’d picked up just five draws and four defeats, scoring only two goals and conceding nine.
With a six-point Calciopoli penalty as well, Arezzo now prop up the table on minus one and face an uphill struggle to avoid relegation.
The final straw was Saturday’s 2-0 defeat away to promotion chasers Cesena, but confidence was low in general.
This is shown by the fact that four different players have missed a penalty for Arezzo this season.
It was 37-year-old Conte’s first job on the bench, having begun his Coaching career this summer after 13 years at Juventus.
