Agyemang-Badu gets new coach at Udinese

Emmanuel Agyemang Badu’s coach at Udinese Stefano Colantuono has been sacked with nine to the end of the season.

The Ghana international will now work under ex-QPR manager Luigi de Canio.

The club are 15th in Serie A, four points above the relegation zone after securing only one win from their last 11 games.

Colantuono, 53, was only appointed last June on a two-year contract.

De Canio, who signs a contract until the end of the season, previously managed Udinese from 1999 to 2001.
