Sassuolo have confirmed Roberto D'Aversa as their new head coach, following the dismissal of Alberto Aquilani on Monday.
Former Roma, Liverpool, Juventus and AC Milan midfielder Aquilani was dismissed with Sassuolo sitting 17th in Serie A going into the international break.
They only took one point from their final seven games under Aquilani, losing the last five of those to leave them just a point clear of the bottom three.
It was announced on Tuesday that D'Aversa had penned an initial contract to run until the end of this season, having been tasked with leading Sassuolo away from the danger zone.

D'Aversa previously had two spells in charge of Parma, in addition to coaching Sampdoria, Lecce, Empoli and Torino, leaving the latter in the summer.
He joined Il Toro when they were embroiled in a relegation battle, managing five wins, three draws and four defeats in 12 games at the helm to help them finish 12th.
