Lecce sack manager D’Aversa

Lecce have fired manager Roberto D’Aversa after he head-butted an opposing player at the end of their loss to Hellas Verona at the weekend, the Serie A club said yesterday. 

D’Aversa head-butted Verona striker Thomas Henry in the aftermath of their 1-0 home defeat on Sunday, and the club released a statement later that day condemning the incident, and have now dismissed the 48-year-old. 

“After the events that took place at the end of the Lecce — Verona match, U.S. Lecce announces that it has relieved coach Roberto D’Aversa of his duties,” the club said in a statement. 

D’Aversa was shown the red card along with Henry, and afterwards the manager, who joined Lecce in June 2023, apologised while saying his players had been continually provoked towards the end of the game. — Reuters.
