Serie A strugglers Salernitana on Wednesday fired coach Davide Nicola for the second time in a month.
Salernitana, just four points above the relegation zone, officially confirmed what Italian media had been reporting with a series of brief statements on their website.
In mid-January, Salernitana had announced Nicola was out after an 8-2 rout against Atalanta Bergamo.
But owner, Danilo Iervolino, changed his mind and gave a reprieve to the coach who unexpectedly kept the club up last season.
But they lost at Verona 1-0 on Monday.
