Udinese names Nicola as Velazquez successor
Udinese named Davide Nicola as its new manager after sacking Julio Velazquez.
Vazquez was dismissed, along with assistant coaches Julian Serrano Jimenez, Miguel Vicente Baltanas and Marc Cots Huguet, after a 2-1 defeat to Empoli on Monday (AEDT) left it fourth from bottom of Serie A.
Former Crotone boss Nicola has been named as Velazquez's successor, having reportedly agreed a deal that will run until the end of the 2019-2020 season.
His first match in charge will be the home league game against Roma on 25 November.
