Cremonese dismisses coach Giampaolo as Modric continues season with Milan

Summary

Cremonese has parted ways with coach Marco Giampaolo following a brief tenure of less than two weeks since the season restart. Despite securing a Coppa Italia qualification victory against Parma, the club recorded two defeats in Serie B play that prompted the coaching change. Elsewhere, 40-year-old midfielder Luka Modric is continuing his career with AC Milan under the guidance of head coach Ruben Amorim. Both the veteran player and the manager were born in 1985 as they enter the new domestic campaign together. Meanwhile, Mourinho has publicly criticized the current state of Ligue 1. The busy schedule continues this evening with several European matches, including VfB Stuttgart versus FC Cologne and Paris PSG against Monaco.
