Salernitana fell 5-0 to Sassuolo at the Mapei on Sunday, managing only one shot in the 90 minutes. Consequently, it has left president Danilo Iervolino quite irate with the result.
They have 13 goals through 8 games, with only Cremonese (15) and Sampdoria (16) doing worse. Additionally, Salernitana have just one win so far. As a result, things are not good at the front office.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the days of coach Davide Nicola could be numbered on the hot seat. Claudio Ranieri, Daniele de Rossi, and Aurelio Andreazzoli are mentioned as potential successors should the current gaffer lose his job.
The 49-year-old did the unthinkable last season by keeping Salernitana in the Serie A, despite being at rock bottom last Christmas. That is the best he can claim, however, as the club has won 5 of 24 games under his tutelage.
Salernitana takes on Verona, Inter, and Spezia in their next three matches. In order for Nicola to avoid the same fate as Marco Giampaolo, results will need to improve quickly.
