D’Aversa takes over Sassuolo ahead of Genoa match
Roberto D’Aversa signed through June 2027 after Sassuolo lost five straight Serie A matches.

Sassuolo introduced Roberto D’Aversa as its coach Thursday, three days after firing Alberto Aquilani following five straight Serie A losses.
D’Aversa signed through June 2027 and led his first training session Tuesday. At his introduction, he said he hoped Domenico Berardi and Cristian Volpato would be available against Genoa. Both missed Saturday’s 3-0 loss at Roma.
Sassuolo is 17th with eight points from 11 matches. It conceded 29 goals in those games. D’Aversa’s first match in charge is Nov. 22 against Genoa at Mapei Stadium.
