Torino has parted ways with head coach Marco Baroni after a 3-0 loss to Genoa, with Roberto D'Aversa stepping in as his replacement. The decision comes after a poor run of form, with Torino winning just one of their last seven games, leaving them three points above the relegation zone in 15th place. D'Aversa, who was previously in charge of Empoli, has signed a contract until June 30, 2026, and is expected to make his debut against Lazio on March 1.

The atmosphere around the team had become increasingly tense. The league position is worrying, and a strong signal was needed to shake up both the environment and the dressing room.
The assessments made in the hours following the match in Genoa led to the final decision: an immediate change.
Torino has identified Roberto D'Aversa as the ideal candidate to lead their turnaround. The former Empoli coach, who became available at the end of the 2024/2025 season, was expected in Turin this morning to finalize the details and start his new chapter.
