Aquilani's last game ‌in charge was Saturday's 3-0 loss at AS Roma, ‌the club where he ⁠began ‌his playing career.

The 42-year-old former ​Liverpool player and Italy international was appointed ​Sassuolo manager in June, having played for the club ⁠in ​2017.

Aquilani won two of his first four league games in charge, but since ‌then his side have gone seven matches without a win, losing six.

Sassuolo are 17th in the standings on eight points, one ahead of Monza. They have the worst ‌defensive record in the ​top flight, conceding 29 goals ‌in 11 games.

Their next game, after the international break, is a home match against Genoa ⁠on November ⁠22.
