Andy Edwards has been put in charge, with a deal until the end of the season.

“The club can confirm that Alberto Cavasin has been relieved of his managerial duties with immediate effect,” a statement read. “We thank him for his efforts during his time with the club and wish him well for the future and he departs the club alongside head of fitness Alfredo Vergori and Matteo Festa.”
