Fiorentina dismiss coach Cavasin

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) -- Fiorentina have sacked coach Alberto Cavasin and replaced him with former Torino boss Emiliano Mondonico.

The twice Italian champions are 14th in Serie B and lost 2-1 to Triestina on Sunday.

Cavasin helped Fiorentina, reformed after the original Florence club went bankrupt in 2002, to the Serie C2 title last season.

Fiorentina were then elevated to Serie B as part of the expansion of the division taken after a series of legal rows during the close season.

Despite impressive support and hefty financial backing Fiorentina have been unable to mount a challenge for promotion back to the top flight.
