Reggina axe Orlandi
Tuesday 16 December, 2008

Reggina have opted to axe struggling Coach Nevio Orlandi and reports suggest that his successor has already been chosen.

The inexperienced Orlandi stepped in to save the Calabrians from the drop last term when he replaced Renzo Ulivieri, but he hasn't enjoyed the same kind of success this year.

After last weekend's home defeat against Sampdoria - their 10th of the campaign - Reggina find themselves in penultimate place and in severe danger of the drop.

President Lillo Foti [pictured] called Orlandi last night to relieve him of his duties and the news was officially released early this morning on the club's website.

Press reports suggest that ex-Chievo boss Beppe Pillon will take over at the Stadio Granillo within the next 48 hours.
