Serie A strugglers Reggina have sacked coach Nevio Orlandi and brought in Giuseppe Pillon as his replacement.

The club currently lie 19th in the table, having won just three of their 16 league games this term.

Orlandi only took charge at the Oreste Granillo in March, helping Reggina to escape relegation in the closing weeks of last season following the sacking of Renzo Ulivieri.

Fifty-two-year-old Pillon has a wealth of experience from a lengthy coaching career, with his most recent post coming at Serie B Treviso, who he parted company with last summer.

A short statement on the club's official website read: "Nevio Orlandi has been relieved of his responsibilities as first-team coach.

"It is official that Giuseppe Pillon is the new coach of Reggina."
