Croatian Ivan Juric has been sacked as coach of Atalanta after back-to-back Serie A defeats left them in the bottom half of the table.
Atalanta slipped to a three nil home loss to Sassuolo on Sunday which dropped them to 13th in the standings.
The Bergamo club had started the season with a nine-match unbeaten streak in the league, although with seven of them draws, before losing to Udinese and Sassuolo.
Juric replaced hugely successful previous boss Gian Piero Gasperini who left Atalanta for Roma in the summer after nine years in charge.
