Serie A strugglers Chievo and Sampdoria fired their coaches yesterday while the future of AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri remained the subject of speculation.
Chievo, bottom of the table with six points, said that Giuseppe Sannino, who took over at the start of the season, had been dismissed after 12 league games in charge.
"Chievo inform that coach Giuseppe Sannino and his staff have been relieved of their responsibilities," said the Verona-based club, which drew 0-0 at home with Milan on Sunday, in a statement.
In almost identically-worded statement, Sampdoria confirmed that Delio Rossi had also been sacked, ending an 11-month tenure with the Genoa club. Sampdoria is 18th in the 20-team table with nine points and lost 1-2 at Fiorentina on Sunday.
Five coaches have lost their jobs this season. In other changes, Cagliari replaced Ivo Pulga with Diego Lopez before the season started, Catania replaced Rolando Maran with Luigi De Canio in October and Genoa fired Fabio Liverani after seven matches.
Italian media also said that Milan President Silvio Berlusconi had still not decided whether to stand by his beleaguered coach Allegri and was pondering possible replacements.
Milan has taken only 13 points from 12 games after having failed to win in its last six in all competitions.
