Torino on Thursday sacked Sinisa
Mihajlovic as coach after a 2-0 defeat to Juventus in the
Italian Cup quarter-finals.
Ex Napoli, Inter and Watford boss Walter Mazzarri has been
tipped to replace him.
Former Lazio, Sampdoria and Inter defender Mihajlovic, 48, is
the seventh coaching casualty in Serie A with the season at its
halfway point.
Also fired were Massimo Rastelli (Cagliari), Marco Baroni
(Benevento), Ivan Juric (Genoa), Luigi Delneri (Udinese),
Cristian Bucchi (Sassuolo) and Vincenzo Montella (Milan).
Torino have also endured a poor run in Serie A.
They have dropped to 10th in the table, 23 points behind
leaders Napoli.
Torino have won just one of their last eight Serie A matches.
Ten draws in 19 matches hurt Mihajlovic .
Serbian Mihajlovic has now been fired four times in his
coaching career.
He was also sacked by Bologna, Fiorentina and AC Milan.
Mihajlovic also coached Sampdoria and, for a year, Serbia.
Mihajlovic was hired by Torino in May 2016.
He led the team to a ninth-place finish last season.
