Promoted side Cremonese have appointed ⁠Marco Giampaolo as manager after sacking Davide Nicola, the ‌Serie A club said on Wednesday, ‌after a 15-game winless ‌run dropped them into the ‌relegation zone following a promising ‌start to the season.

[p]Giampaolo, who was in charge at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/cremonese/KUzfp5N3/"]Cremonese[/a] ‌in the third-tier in ⁠2015, ‌has previously managed the likes of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ac-milan/8Sa8HInO/"]​AC Milan[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/torino/MZFZnvX4/"]Torino[/a], and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sampdoria/nJbCGx2U/"]Sampdoria[/a] in Serie A ​and last season guided [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/lecce/G8lYsMgU/"]Lecce[/a] to survival in the top ⁠flight.[/p][p]Cremonese ​began the season with an away win at Milan and lost just one of their ‌opening nine games to find themselves in the top half of the table. However, 11 defeats in 15 games without a win has them third from bottom and three points behind 17th ‌placed Lecce.[/p][image alt="Bottom of Serie A" id="978a1f5d-3705-4517-9b7e-38fee31c643d" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="08e6c53b-771f-4c8c-8a82-a37661e5943b" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]Nicola took charge in ​July on a two-year contract, but Monday's 4-1 home loss to fellow strugglers [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/fiorentina/Q3A3IbXH/"]Fiorentina[/a] spelt the end of his reign. Cremonese are away ⁠to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/parma/6DxlaxHN/"]⁠Parma[/a] on ‌Saturday.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/cremonese-KUzfp5N3/parma-6DxlaxHN/?mid=raQOQz3m"]Follow that game with Flashscore.[/a][/p]
