Fabio Cannavaro was exonerated by Benevento-Corriere.it

The defeat of Benevento against Venice becomes fatal for Fabio Cannavaro: it costs him the bench. The president of the club, Oreste Vigorito exonerated him, the same decision also taken against his second Paolo cannavaro and the sporting director Pasquale Foggia. There was a long confrontation in the locker room between the president, the now former sporting director, the technical staff and the team. Both Foggia and Cannavaro were the most targeted by the fans during the protests following the match’s triple whistle.

Fabio Cannavaro’s first adventure as a coach in Italy ends in the worst possible way. Benevento relieved him of his duties after the defeat at home against Venice (1-2), the third in a row, which dropped the Giallorossi team to the penultimate place in the Serie B standings. It was a battle for salvation, the he former world champion had called it yet another final. Fabio Cannavaro had taken over from Fabio Caserta.

Still in Serie B, the Ascoli coach Cristian Bucchi was also sacked after the crash with Cittadella. The former coach of, among others, Perugia, Sassuolo and Empoli, had been called to Ascoli last summer to replace Sottil, who had signed with Udinese.
