Chievo and Bologna sharpen axe
Sunday 2 November, 2008

Beppe Iachini and Daniele Arrigoni have a tense evening as Chievo and Bologna prepare to fire their Coaches.

The Flying Donkeys look set to make a change after today's 3-0 defeat against a Palermo side that played with 10 men for the entire second half.

It was just the latest setback for Iachini's men who have not won since the opening weekend, picking up three points from their last nine games.

It is reported that Bepi Pillon is going to make a comeback on the bench, as he had already been in charge from 2005 to 2007.

The other club ready to make a change is Bologna, who were crushed 5-1 in a relegation dogfight with Cagliari this afternoon.

President Francesca Menarini dubbed this performance “contemptible and beneath us,” so Arrigoni is hanging by a thread.

Already several weeks ago it was claimed Sinisa Mihajlovic was lined up as a replacement, so it may well be only a matter of time.

Bologna had a great start to the season when beating Milan 2-1 at San Siro, but since then have won only once and lost eight.

It would be Mihajlovic's first real management position, as he had been Roberto Mancini's assistant at Inter.
