Milan (Italy) (AFP) – Atalanta have sacked Raffaele Palladino, the Serie A club said on Tuesday, ahead of the widely expected arrival of Maurizio Sarri.

In a statement, Atalanta said that Palladino had been "relieved of his duties as first team coach" after less than a season in the job.
Palladino, 42, was hired by Atalanta in November following the sacking of Ivan Juric in the hope of pushing for a top-four finish.
However he could only lead Atalanta to seventh in Serie A, some 12 points away from the Champions League places, and the Italian Cup semi-finals.
