Fiorentina Dismiss Stefano Pioli After Winless Serie A Start
Fiorentina has parted ways with head coach Stefano Pioli following one of the club's worst starts in Serie A history. The decision was announced on Monday, with Pioli relieved of his first-team duties.
Interim Appointment
Daniele Galloppa, the Under-20 coach, has been appointed as the interim manager. He will lead Fiorentina in their upcoming Conference League match against Mainz 05 on Thursday.
Record Performance
- Fiorentina remain winless after 10 Serie A games this season, sitting last in the league with just four points.
- The team’s record of draws and losses stands at 4 draws and 6 defeats.
- This marks the third time Fiorentina has lost six of their first ten Serie A matches, previously occurring in 1939/40 and 2001/02 seasons.
- The club has also suffered four losses in their first five home Serie A matches, an occurrence only matched once before in 1977/78.
Pioli's Tenure and Background
Pioli had signed a three-year contract with Fiorentina this summer, marking his second spell at the club since his earlier tenure from June 2017 to April 2019. Despite managing other Serie A teams such as Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan, and Parma, this is the first time Pioli has gone winless in league competition with a club.
"Having also managed Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan and Parma in Serie A, this is the first time Pioli has failed to win a single league match during his time in charge of a club."
Galloppa will now take charge of the Viola’s next matches, as Fiorentina currently lead their Conference League group after two games.
Fiorentina's early Serie A struggles led to Pioli's sacking, with the team seeking revival under interim coach Galloppa.
