A seven-game winless run puts immense pressure on Benevento manager Fabio Cannavaro, forcing his sacking, after the latest defeat came last weekend at home against Venezia.
Benevento have lost four of the last seven games, and the defeats leaves them scratching near the base of the table.
The clash was a relegation scrap and Cannavaro watched haplessly as his side lost a third consecutive Serie B match.
Nicholas Pierini (3′) and Joel Pohjanpalo (70′) both scored either side of Andres Tello’s goal in stoppage time of the first half (45+4′).
Benevento were also reduced to 10 men following Mattia Viviani’s expulsion from the game in the 89th minute.
At some point, Simy Nwankwo was introduced with the team desperate for goals.
The 30 year-old has not scored this season in the previous 12 appearances for the club.
He still wasn’t lucky on his 13th outing, firing blank despite playing Thirty-two minutes.
On Monday, the club announced the appointment of Roberto Stellone and he took charge of his first training session same day.
The former Napoli forward was previously in charge of Reggina.
