Report Torino will sack Baroni and hire D’Aversa after 3-0 defeat
Multiple sources in Italy are reporting that Torino have decided to sack coach Marco Baroni, with Roberto D’Aversa the favourite to take over.
The Granata have been struggling in recent months and this afternoon’s 3-0 defeat to Genoa, when down to 10 men for the entire second half due to Emirhan Ilkhan’s red card, may well prove to be the final straw.
Baroni has overseen seven Serie A wins, six draws, and 13 defeats, while they were eliminated from the Coppa Italia quarter-finals by Inter earlier this month.

Sport Mediaset and Sportitalia are confident that the decision has been made to dismiss Baroni, as well as the choice for his imminent replacement.
Sky Sport Italia note that President Urbano Cairo and director of sport Gianluca Petrachi left the stadium immediately after the final whistle.
The man chosen to take over is D’Aversa, who has been out of work since failing to stop Empoli’s relegation from Serie A in May 2025.
His previous clubs include Lecce, Sampdoria and Parma.
