Brescia fire coach Iachini

Brescia on Monday sacked coach Giuseppe Iachini after a run of 11 league games without a win.

The final nail in the 46-year-old’s coffin was Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Serie A leaders AC Milan.

Things had started so well for Iachini this season, having guided Brescia to promotion from Serie B in the last campaign.

But after three wins in their first four matches, Brescia have not won in almost three months, picking up just three points.

They sit fourth from bottom of the table but level on points with the two teams directly below them.

Italian press claim former Siena boss Mario Beretta is the favourite to succeed him.
