Lecce has fired manager Roberto D’Aversa after he headbutted Verona striker Thomas Henry following Sunday’s 1-0 Serie A loss. Both D’Aversa and Henry received red cards for the incident after the final whistle.
D’Aversa, acknowledging the inexcusable nature of his actions was relieved of his duties with the club attributing his dismissal to the events at the end of the match.
Lecce’s recent struggles dropping to 15th in Serie A with just one win in their last 12 fixtures contributed to the decision. D’Aversa had taken over as manager last summer.
