Mutual consent
Arrigoni departed one week after being appointed to replace Attilio Tesser. The Sardinian club lost their opening match 2-1 at AC Siena before a 1-1 draw against S.S. Lazio last Sunday. Ballardini, who led Sambenedettese in Serie C1 in 2004/05, faces a home debut against FC Messina Peloro this weekend.
Torino saga
Arrigoni guided Cagliari to 13th place in Italy last term before leaving at the end of the season for newly-promoted Torino Calcio. However, when Torino were expelled from Serie A for financial reasons, the 46-year-old returned to the Sant'Elia stadium.
