Milan, Italy (My Sportsbook) - Livorno was busy on Monday, firing coach Franco Colomba and replacing him with Roberto Donadoni. The move comes after a 4-2 defeat to first-place Juventus on Sunday, dropping Livorno to 15th place in the Serie A standings. In 18 games this season, Livorno has tallied just five wins and five draws for a total of 20 points, 23 behind Juve in the standings. The 41-year-old Donadoni, who signed an 18-month contract with the team, worked at the club two seasons ago during its Serie B campaign. Donadoni brings a host of experience to Livorno dating back to his playing days as a hard-nosed midfielder with Arrigo Sacchi's Milan squad in the late 1980s and into the 1990s. Donadoni, who also played two seasons with the MetroStars, never coached at a top flight level, but has experience on the bench with Serie B side Genoa. |
