Salernitana, Serie A's bottom club, announced on Sunday the dismissal of Filippo Inzaghi after just four months in charge. The decision comes following a 3-1 home defeat to fellow strugglers Empoli, culminating in a series of disappointing results.
Inzaghi, who took over from Paulo Sousa in October, was unable to lead a successful turnaround during his brief tenure in southern Italy. The team has won only two out of their 24 matches, leaving them at the bottom of the league.
To fill the managerial void, Salernitana has appointed Fabio Liverani, a former Italy midfielder. Liverani, previously at Cagliari, will reportedly lead the team until the end of the season. The specifics of his contract were not disclosed in the club's statements.
Salernitana's decision to bring in Liverani reflects the urgency to improve their position in the league, as they find themselves seven points adrift from safety after a string of defeats in recent matches.
Inzaghi, a member of Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning squad, faced challenges in his coaching career, unlike his younger brother Simone, currently leading Serie A with Inter Milan. Before joining Salernitana, Filippo Inzaghi had been without a coaching role since guiding Reggina to second place in Serie B last season.
His tenure at Salernitana was marked by struggles, leading to the club's decision to part ways with him as they aim to secure their Serie A status for the upcoming season.
