President Enrico Preziosi had already tried to dismiss Andreazzoli two weeks ago, but was forced to keep him on due to a lack of alternatives, as Gennaro Gattuso and Stefano Pioli turned down the job.

After 5-1 defeat at Parma, even Andreazzoli acknowledged in his post-match comments that it was the end of the road.

Options to take over include Francesco Guidolin, former Genoa and PSG midfielder Thiago Motta and ex-Udinese boss Davide Nicola.

However, the new favourite this evening according to Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport seems to be Carrera.
