The defeat before the dismissal
Aquilani's dismissal followed a 3-0 loss to his old club Roma.
Aquilani's season record
His total record on the bench this season was four wins, two draws and seven defeats between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
His first top-flight coaching role
This was Aquilani's first top-flight experience as a coach, following roles in Serie B with Pisa and Catanzaro and a role as a coach at the Fiorentina youth academy.
Appointment and final win
Aquilani was called in to replace Fabio Grosso over the summer and had signed a contract to June 2028. His last win was a 3-2 victory over Juventus on September 13.
