Italian Fourth-Division Club Piacenza Calcio Goes Through Three Coaches in a Single Day
Fan outrage over a controversial hire forces the team to replace two coaches within hours, reinstating a previously dismissed manager.
- Piacenza Calcio, a Serie D club in Italy, replaced three coaches in one day, marking one of the most chaotic days in its history.
- The club dismissed Carmine Parlato in the morning and appointed Simone Bentivoglio, who was fired just hours later after his first training session.
- Fans vehemently protested Bentivoglio's appointment, citing his involvement in a 2011 match-fixing scandal, which led to a 13-month suspension at the time.
- The backlash included fans storming the training field and threatening to boycott future matches, prompting the club to act quickly.
- By the evening, Piacenza reinstated Stefano Rossini, who had been dismissed just six weeks earlier, as the team's head coach.
