The pairing Sassari fans didn't want: Torres and Dinamo have both made a disastrous start . The rossoblù are second to last in Serie C football with seven defeats in eleven games and seven clean sheets . The biancoblù are last with zero points after five matchdays and their survival in Serie A1 basketball seems more in jeopardy than ever before . These results highlight some errors in the summer planning by both clubs.

The Torre del Greco club made a decision yesterday: they fired coach Michele Pazienza , thanking him and his entire staff "for their dedication during his time at the club and wishing him the best for his future career." This thanks isn't just a superficial one, as Pazienza has always been exemplary from a professional perspective.

The team has been temporarily entrusted to Marco Sanna, the Primavera coach who has experience both as a player and as a coach. The search for a new manager is underway. The team returns to action on Saturday in Ravenna.

President Sardara's club, however, has less time, as Sporting Lisbon arrives at the PalaSerradimigni tomorrow for the Europa Cup, while Cantù plays Thursday for the league . Time is extremely tight, and for now , Massimo Bulleri remains on the bench, but the search for a new coach has begun . Alessandro Ramagli (formerly of Verona and Virtus Bologna, where Marco Spissu also played) seemed close, but there are no developments at the moment. The club would welcome the return of Gianmarco Pozzecco, a name that would bring back enthusiasm after two disappointing seasons.
