Empoli on Tuesday announced that Roberto D'Aversa will be their coach for next season's Serie A campaign after he signed a two-year contract with the Tuscan club.
    D'Aversa's last job was at Lecce, who sacked him in March after he headbutted Hellas Verona's French forward Thomas Henry at the end of a 1-0 home defeat.
    He replaces relegation-battle specialist Davide Nicola, who kept Empoli in the top-flight last season after taking over in January.
