Cairo 'set to appoint Novellino'
Monday 8 December, 2008

There are rumours that Torino chief Urbano Cairo is currently in talks with Walter Novellino and will appoint him as Coach later this afternoon.

Current tactician Gianni De Biasi is under threat after a dismal run of results, culminating in yesterday's 4-1 drubbing at home to Fiorentina.

Torino are now in 17th place and are poised precariously above the relegation zone.

There have been widespread suggestions that Toro chief Cairo has lost faith in De Biasi and is ready to wield the axe.

After a crisis meeting yesterday, Sportmediaset claims that Cairo is talking to Novellino, who is still under contract after being axed last year.

Novellino could be appointed with immediate effect starting with tomorrow's training session after today's was cancelled.
