Fiorentina Sack Pioli After Winless Serie A Start
Fiorentina have dismissed head coach Stefano Pioli on Monday following one of their worst season starts in Serie A history. The club confirmed Pioli’s departure as the team continues to struggle at the bottom of the league.
Interim Coach Appointment
Daniele Galloppa, the Under-20s coach, has been named interim head coach. He will lead the team in their upcoming Conference League match against Mainz 05 on Thursday.
Fiorentina's Poor Season Performance
- Fiorentina remain winless after 10 Serie A games, holding only four points.
- The team’s record stands at four draws and six losses.
- This marks the third time in club history with six losses in the first 10 games, previously in 1939/40 and 2001/02 seasons.
- They have also lost four of their first five home league games, a situation only seen once before, in the 1977/78 season.
Pioli's Tenure and Record
Pioli, who began his second term with Fiorentina in the summer, had signed a three-year contract. His previous stint ran from June 2017 to April 2019. Despite managing several Serie A clubs including Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan, and Parma, this is the first occasion he failed to secure a league win during his tenure.
Fiorentina stated: "Pioli was relieved of first-team duties on Monday, with Galloppa taking over in the interim."
The team currently leads their Conference League group after two games, offering some hope amid their league struggles.
Summary: Fiorentina replaced Stefano Pioli after a historic poor Serie A start, appointing Daniele Galloppa as interim coach to stabilize the team in both domestic and European competitions.
