This has never happened before! An Italian club announces the coach's dismissal in an extraordinary way
Italian club Ascoli has found itself in the spotlight after an unusual decision: the management dismissed head coach Mimmo Di Carlo via social media while he was still on the field shaking hands with the referee.
Details: Club president Massimo Pulcinelli decided not to delay the decision. At the moment the referee blew the final whistle in a Serie C match that ended in a defeat for his team, the official posted an announcement on Instagram, officially confirming the coach's dismissal.
Quote: "Mister Di Carlo is fired! We apologize to our fans! Shameful performance!" Pulcinelli wrote in his Instagram Stories.
Reminder: Di Carlo, who was on the sidelines at the time greeting the referee and opponents, only learned of his dismissal later. A few hours after the incident, Ascoli officially confirmed the decision.
Di Carlo took charge of the team on October 3. During his tenure, the club secured 4 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses. Before him, Cristian Ledesma served as interim coach for one game following the dismissal of Massimo Carrera on September 26. As a result, Ascoli is now searching for its fourth head coach of the season.
