Serie A team Salernitana has terminated the contract of their manager, Davide Nicola, for the second time in just 31 days.
The49-year-old was rehired by Salernitana on 18 January 2023, only two days after his previous dismissal, which came after his team suffered an 8-2 defeat by AtalantaHello. Nicola first took on the role in February 2022.
The club has replaced Nicola with former Fiorentina boss Paulo Sousa. Salernitana currently sits in 16th position in the Italian top-flight, four points above the relegation places, following 22 games played.
Since his reappointment, Nicola’s team has managed just one win and suffered three losses in the league, including a defeat to relegation rivals Hellas Verona on Monday. Over his two spells with the team, the club lost seven out of the last 10 games Nicola was in charge of, with just one win.
Despite Nicola’s efforts, it appears that Salernitana’s management has decided to take action in the hopes of improving the team’s performance and securing their position in the league.
