The decision came in the wake of a demoralizing 3-0 defeat away to Genoa, a result that left the Granata languishing on 27 points and highlighted the team’s dramatic regression.\n\nBaroni’s appointment earlier in the season was itself a response to crisis. The club had endured a torrid start under Roberto D’Aversa, whose pragmatic approach failed to ignite a squad short on confidence and creativity. With relegation fears beginning to surface, president Urbano Cairo turned to Baroni, hoping the former Lecce and Verona manager could replicate his reputation for galvanizing underperforming sides.\n\nThe initial impact was transformative. Baroni implemented a more proactive, high-tempo style that unlocked the potential of key players. Torino went on a run of results that saw them climb away from danger, and at its peak, the team was averaging 1.7 points per match — a rate that would secure European qualification if sustained. That figure even surpassed the points-per-game tally achieved by Walter Mazzarri during the 2018-19 campaign, when Torino finished seventh and returned to continental competition.\n\n“Our objective is to do better than last season,” Baroni repeatedly asserted during his early months, setting a clear benchmark. For a while, those words felt like a genuine mission statement rather than hollow rhetoric. The team displayed resilience, tactical discipline, and a cutting edge that had been absent under his predecessor. Fans dared to dream of a late surge toward the top half, perhaps even a European spot.\n\nHowever, the revival proved unsustainable. As winter turned to spring, the same frailties that had plagued D’Aversa’s tenure began to reappear. Defensive lapses, a blunt attack, and a worrying inability to manage games from winning positions saw results nosedive. The 1.7 points-per-game average plummeted, and the side slipped back toward mid-table mediocrity.\n\nThe nadir arrived at the Luigi Ferraris. A comprehensive 3-0 thrashing by Genoa laid bare all of Torino’s shortcomings: a lack of fight, tactical disorganization, and an absence of leadership on the pitch. With just 27 points on the board and the team drifting aimlessly, Cairo’s patience finally snapped. Baroni was relieved of his duties in the immediate aftermath.\n\nThe decision, while understandable given the recent form, will still be scrutinized. Baroni had delivered a clear uptick in performance for a significant stretch, suggesting that the underlying issues at the club run deeper than coaching. Torino have now cycled through three managers in less than two years, a turnover that points to structural instability and a squad built on fragile foundations.\n\nFrom a tactical standpoint, Baroni’s system relied heavily on the intensity of his forwards and the creativity of his midfield. When injuries and fatigue bit, the alternatives failed to step up. The loss to Genoa exposed a team bereft of ideas, incapable of responding to adversity. It was a stark contrast to the swaggering side that had dismissed opponents earlier in the campaign.\n\nThe implications for Torino’s season are grim. Any lingering hopes of a top-half finish have evaporated, and the club must now focus on avoiding an embarrassing slide into the relegation battle. The search for Baroni’s successor will be urgent, but the pool of available managers willing to take on a project with limited resources is small. Cairo’s next appointment will be critical, not only for salvaging the current campaign but for restoring some optimism among a disillusioned fanbase.\n\nThis episode also reflects a broader trend in Serie A: the increasingly short leash given to coaches. Even a brief revival is not enough to guarantee job security if results tail off. Baroni’s sacking, despite his early success, underscores the cutthroat nature of modern Italian football, where patience is thin and the margin for error is razor-thin.\n\nAs Torino prepare for their next chapter, the focus will inevitably return to the club’s long-term planning. Without a coherent strategy and a more robust squad, the coaching carousel will continue to spin. Baroni’s tenure will be remembered as a flash of light extinguished too soon — a cautionary tale of how quickly promise can sour in the pressure cooker of Serie A.\n\nBased on reporting from Tuttosport.","news","Torino dismissed Marco Baroni after a 3-0 loss to Genoa left the club with 27 points, despite a prior revival that saw 1.7 points per game under his guidance.","326257539916238848","Lecce","329874862828949505","326135624606158848","Serie A","327055348961644544","Lecce vs Genoa","2026-05-13T04:30:00Z","baroni-sacked-by-torino-1-7-points-per-game-not-enough","Tuttosport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Ftorino\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F13-148598303\u002Ftoro_da_daversa_a_baroni_i_numeri_della_rinascita\u002F","326257539698135040","Torino",[61,50,45,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72],"326222712592666624","326222713054040064","326255039171530752","326255041851691008","326257537559040000","326257546220277760","326257554193649664","326222707169431552","326222713142120448",[62,51,46,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"Congo DR","Haiti","Dinamo Minsk","Cherno More Varna","Benfica","Chelsea","Perth Glory","Anderlecht","Canada","Baroni Sacked by Torino: 1.7 Points Per Game Not Enough",[85,114,139,173],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":86,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":87,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":88,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":89,"slug":90,"sourceName":91,"sourceURL":92,"teamId":93,"teamName":94,"teamIds":95,"teamNames":104,"title":113},"Mauricio Pochettino has held initial talks with AC Milan about their managerial vacancy, though his focus stays on the 2026 World Cup with the United States.","335536741324689409","0","2026-05-28T19:37:40Z","pochettino-in-ac-milan-talks-usmnt-future-unclear","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fc794gn7n955o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss","326257539333230592","AC Milan",[93,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,69,103],"326222713016291328","326257807630274560","326222712110321664","326257545918287872","326257546094448640","326257539366785024","326257565501493248","326257536078450688",[94,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,79,112],"USA","Southampton","Argentina","Liverpool","Tottenham","Cagliari","Espanyol","Paris Saint Germain","Pochettino in AC Milan Talks: USMNT Future Unclear",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":115,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":116,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":88,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":117,"slug":118,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":119,"teamId":120,"teamName":121,"teamIds":122,"teamNames":130,"title":138},"Bernardo Silva nears free transfer to Barcelona after Man City exit, beating Juve and Atletico.
