MILAN (AP) — A victory for Serie B club Cremonese at Serie A side Parma wasn’t enough to save Marco Giampaolo’s job.
The coach was fired immediately after guiding Cremonese to a 2-0 win in the second round of the Italian Cup on Tuesday.
The moves comes after Cremonese lost its opening two matches in the second division without scoring a goal, and conceding four. But it had also won its Italian Cup opener, beating Sampdoria 2-0 in the first round.
Giampaolo was hired in March but couldn’t prevent Cremonese from being relegated from Serie A last season as the Lombardy team finished third from bottom.
Former Leicester and England striker Jamie Vardy left Cremonese in June after one season.
Cremonese said in a statement that it thanked Giampaolo and his staff for their “professionalism, effort and dedication since their arrival in Cremona.” A new coach was not immediately named.
Parma coach Carlos Cuesta could also be at risk, with his team having also lost its opening two matches in Serie A.
