Reports are emerging that Sassuolo are seriously considering the dismissal of head coach Alessio Dionisi, with a search for his replacement already underway.
Despite initial insistence on retaining Dionisi, the club’s stance appears to be shifting in the wake of a string of disappointing results.
Sassuolo’s recent 3-2 home defeat to fellow relegation battlers Empoli, despite twice staging comebacks, has pushed the situation towards a potential change in leadership.
While the team has managed victories against top sides like Inter and Juventus, their inability to secure points against supposedly weaker opponents has proven detrimental.
Multiple sources indicate that a decision regarding Dionisi’s future could be made by the weekend, with the club yet to identify a definitive replacement.
Calciomercato.it has suggested former Frosinone and Olympique Lyonnais coach Fabio Grosso as a potential candidate, while Sky Sport Italia leans towards more experienced figures like Davide Ballardini and Leonardo Semplici.
Dionisi, who arrived at the Mapei Stadium in the summer of 2021, previously managed Venezia and Empoli.
His Serie A record at Sassuolo stands at five wins, five draws, and 15 defeats.
