Lecce have sacked coach Roberto D'Aversa.

D'Aversa has been axed after Sunday's clash with Hellas Verona striker Thomas Henry.

D'Aversa headbutted Henry at the end of Lecce's defeat to Verona.

Lecce announced today: "After the events that occurred at the end of the Lecce - Verona match, US Lecce announces that it has relieved coach Roberto D'Aversa of his duties. Thanks go to the coach and his staff for the work done."

D'Aversa leaves Lecce sitting in 16th place on the Serie A table.
