ROME, Feb 21, 2010 (AFP) - Italian Serie A side Udinese sacked coach Gianni de Biasi on Sunday, replacing him with Pasquale Marino, a former coach who was fired to make way for de Biasi just two months ago.

DE Biasi is paying the price for Udinese's poor form this year. Despite having the most prolific striker in the Italian division -- Italian international Antonio Di Natale -- Udinese are in 16th place after winning just once under de Biasi who took over in December.

After Saturday's 3-0 defeat to seventh-placed Genoa he become the 14th Serie A coach to lose his job this season.
