Udinese cut Runjaic loose after eight winless matches
Udinese dismissed Kosta Runjaic on Monday, ending a tenure of more than two years after a run of eight matches without a win and a 5-2 home defeat by Roma that left the club on five points from ten games, just above the relegation places on goal difference. The club thanked Runjaic and his two assistants in a two-paragraph statement. Paolo Zanetti, out of work since February, was reported to be closing on the job; Udinese had not confirmed an appointment.
