Toro line up De Biasi successor
Monday 8 December, 2008

Torino Coach Gianni De Biasi may have reached the end of the line after yesterday's hammering against Fiorentina.

De Biasi rescued the Granata from relegation last term, but things haven't gone according to plan this time around.

While city rivals Juventus are in the Scudetto hunt, Toro are languishing in 17th place with just 12 points from 15 games.

After a humiliating loss to Fiorentina, there was a meeting between De Biasi, Toro chief Urbano Cairo, director Mauro Pederzoli and player's representative Eugenio Corini.

Cairo is expected to make a decision today on whether or not to keep faith in De Biasi, but Press sources suggest that he will change direction.

Walter Novellino is still under contract after his dismissal last year, but he isn't seen as a likely candidate.

Former Livorno boss Giancarlo Camolese and ex-Fiorentina man Emiliano Mondonico, who has twice sat on the Toro bench, are said to be the men in consideration.
