Fiorentina โคParts Ways wihtโข Coach stefano Pioli After Winless โคStart
Florence, Italy – Fiorentina has terminated the contract of headโ coach Stefano Pioli following a string of disappointing results, theโ club confirmed today. โThe decision comes after the team’s โฃfailure to secure a win in its first ten Serie A matches of โขthe season.
Pioli, appointed at the beginning of the season, leaves Fiorentina with a record of four draws and six defeats, โleaving the club in 19th place in the Serie A standings. The move signals โขa desperate attempt by Fiorentina’s management to reverse the team’s fortunes and climb out of theโ relegation zone.
The dismissal follows โขreported friction between Pioli and striker Edin dzeko regardingโค tactical approach. Dzeko, who transferred from Fenerbahce earlier this season, recently stated, “I โคdon’tโข want to say too much because if I say โฃmore, โคthe coach will get angry. In my opinion, when we play with two strikers, we become closer to each other and important for theโฃ team.When you have difficulties in the match, we can be a reference point even in longโ balls. But the decision is up to the coach. We must do our best on the field.”
Pioli responded to Dzeko’s comments, stating, “We areโ trying to find a balance. At the โฃmoment we cannot afford moreโค than two attackers. This situation is about the balance we are in. Of course,โค we can put another spare striker on the field in the future, but this is not the time. Dzeko is a strong player, he knows whereโค my office is. โHe needs to be ready because the hierarchy within the team changes according to performances andโ results.”
The club has not yet announced a replacement for Pioli. The search for a new manager will โคbegin immediately, with Fiorentina hoping to quickly stabilize theโฃ team and begin itsโฃ ascent in the serie A table.
