That 1-0 result saw the team drop from promotion play-off contenders down to 15th position, just two points clear of the relegation play-out places.

The club announced this morning that it had made the decision to sack Ventura following a meeting between President Luca Pomponi and technical director Oreste Cinquini.

Along with Ventura, who had been at Pisa for 22 months, they fired assistant manager Pasquale Padalino, goalkeeping Coach Giuseppe Zinetti and fitness Coach Alessandro Innocenti.
