SALERNO, Italy (AP) — Last-place Salernitana has fired coach Fabrizio Castori after only one win in eight matches. The announcement comes a day after Salernitana lost 2-1 at Spezia. It’s the third coaching change of the Serie A season after Igor Tudor replaced Eusebio Di Francesco at Hellas Verona and Walter Mazzarri replaced Leonardo Semplici at Cagliari. A replacement for Castori was not immediately named. Salernitana is playing in the top division for the first time in more than 20 years. Castori guided the team to a second-place finish in Serie B last season to earn promotion.
