As soon as news arrived that "Livorno" had fired their head coach and appointed a new one, one of the Italian championship's underdogs, the club "Siena," did the same shortly after.
The former "Inter" strategist Gigi Simoni, who replaced Giuseppe Papadopulo in the summer as coach, had a poor start to the season and his team recently suffered another defeat, losing to the neighboring team "Parma" and dropping to second-to-last position in the table.
Simoni's place was taken by Luigi De Canio, who has previously worked at the club, returning to "Serie A" after the season break, as he coached the "Reggina" team two years ago. De Canio has previously coached "Udinese," "Napoli," and "Genoa," although he was fired from the latter club before even starting the season.
Meanwhile, Italian clubs continue to have the opportunity to add new players in January - "Inter" club's 25-year-old Greek forward Lampros Choutos was loaned to the absolute underdog of the championship, the team "Atalanta," while "Udinese" acquired 20-year-old Brazilian Gustavo Lazzaretti de Aroujio, who also holds an Italian passport.
