UDINE, Italy – Udinese fired his coach for the second time this season.
The northern club announced the dismissal of Davide Nicola Wednesday, four months after the hiring of Nicola to replace Julio Velazquez.
Udinese said that a new coach will be named "shortly".
This decision comes three days after a 4-2 defeat to Naples and left Udinese in 16th place, tied for points with Empoli and a point over Bologna.
Udinese is one of the places where the club was sitting when Nicola was hired in November.
Despite a modest budget, Udinese has remained in Serie A continuously since the 1995-96 season – behind Inter Milan, Roma, AC Milan and Lazio in terms of consecutive seasons in the first division .
Igor Tudor, who coached Udinese last season, would be the first choice to replace Nicola.
This is the 11th training change in the 20-team Series A this season.
