Cesena sack Giampaolo

Two goals from Mattia Destro helped Siena to a 4-1 victory over Chievo while struggling duo Lecce and Novara drew 1-1.

German Denis scored his sixth goal of the season but the Argentine's seventh-minute effort was not enough for Atalanta as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat at Bologna.

Bottom club Cesena said on their website that Giampaolo, who took over in the close season, had been dismissed following the defeat at Parma and a new coach would be named in the coming days.

The Sea Horses have just three points from nine games after Gabriel Paletta and Alessandro Lucarelli scored in each half for Parma.

"It's a change that I had to make to give new strength and enthusiasm to the team," club president Igor Campedelli was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency.

Lecce coach Eusebio Di Francesco also had to fend off talk about his future after the draw with Novara left his side two points above Cesena in 19th place.

"Nobody's said anything to me, when I talked to the directors it was about the game," he said.

"That question should be asked to the club."

Fiorentina coach Sinisa Mihajlovic was angry with fans who jeered his team in a 1-0 win over Genoa.

Andrea Lazzari's goal gave La Viola the win but there was no fun in the result for Mihajlovic.

"It doesn't bother me but I'm unhappy for the boys," he said.
