Serie A basement club SPAL on
Monday sacked Leonardo Semplici, the coach who led their surge
from Serie C to Serie A over the last six seasons.
The Ferrara side returned to the top flight for the first
time in 49 years last season.
Semplici was axed after a 2-1 home defeat to 12th-placed
Sassuolo left SPAL glued to the bottom of the table on 15
points, one point behind Brescia and four below Genoa.
Former Italy under-21 coach Gigi Di Biagio is set to take
over later Monday.
