SASSUOLO, Italy (AP) Former Perugia coach Cristian Bucchi is taking over at Serie A club Sassuolo.
The announcement comes after Eusebio Di Francesco's move to Roma last week.
Bucchi led Perugia to a fourth-place finish in Serie B last month, after which the club was beaten by Benevento in the playoffs to reach the top division.
Sassuolo, based near Modena, is coming off a 12th-place finish in Serie A.
