Iachini replaced Andreazzoli in November after Empoli won only one of 11 matches in Serie A under the 65-year-old coach, who had led the Tuscan team to the Serie B title and direct promotion last season. Iachini steered Empoli to three wins and a draw in his first four matches but has won only one of 12 since. Empoli next play Frosinone, who are five points below them in the table, before travelling to Serie A leaders Juventus after the international break.
