D'Aversa emerges as favourite for Venezia job

Venezia's winless start has made Giovanni Stroppa's position precarious, and Roberto D'Aversa is now tipped to step in.

What happened. Roberto D'Aversa has become the favourite to take over at Venezia if the club decides to sack Giovanni Stroppa. The Lagunari have lost all four of their opening Serie A games, and a decision could follow Saturday's match against Lazio.

• Stroppa has failed to pick up a single point from Venezia's first four Serie A fixtures.
• Igor Tudor was previously linked with the Venezia job before D'Aversa emerged.
• D'Aversa's last role was at Torino, guiding them to mid-table safety from February 2026.

Venezia host Lazio on Saturday, and another poor result could trigger a change in the dugout.
