Udinese part company with Andrea Stramaccioni

Udinese have confirmed that manager Andrea Stramaccioni will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.

The 39-year-old took charge of the Bianconeri last June, but the club have endured a frustrating season and finished a lowly 16th in the Serie A table.

"Udinese Calcio announces that a meeting between the directors and coach Andrea Stramaccioni held today ended with the club deciding not to exercise the option of a contract renewal for the 2015-16 season," read a statement on the club's official website.

"Therefore the relationship with the coach will stop at its natural end on June 30, 2015. Udinese Calcio thanks Andrea Stramaccioni for the work he has done."

Stramaccioni has previously managed Inter Milan and the Roma youth team.
