Former MetroStars midfielder Roberto Donadoni has been hired as coach of Cagliari, which fired Pierpaolo Bisoli following home losses to Napoli and Genoa in the Italian league.

Donadoni played for the MetroStars in 1996-97 between stints at AC Milan (1986-96 and 1997-99). He coached Italy to the quarterfinals of the 2008 European Championship and has also coached Livorno, Genoa and Napoli in Serie A.

Cagliari has 11 points in 12 games, tied with Brescia and Cesena for next-to-last place, two points above Bari. Cagliari is at Brescia on Sunday.
