TURIN, Italy (AP) — Torino has fired Marco Baroni and immediately named Roberto D'Aversa as the new coach of the Serie A club.
Baroni was axed after Torino lost at Genoa 3-0 on Sunday, a fourth straight winless match in all competitions. Torino played the entire second half with 10 men.
Torino sits 15th in the table, just three points clear of the drop zone.
