Fiorentina seal deal for Paolo Vanoli: he will replace Pioli as manager | OneFootball

Fiorentina will soon have a new coach: Paolo Vanoli has been confirmed to take over the viola bench. Despite recent speculation that D’Aversa was the hot favorite, it is the former Torino coach who has come out on top. His task will be to lift Fiorentina from a very delicate situation, as they currently sit second to last with just 4 points.

Fiorentina, coaching search concluded: Paolo Vanoli to take over

Following Juventus and Genoa, Fiorentina is also ready to welcome a new coach. After Stefano Pioli's disastrous start with just 4 points in 9 matches, his dismissal was inevitable. While waiting to determine his successor, the club entrusted the bench to the Primavera coach, Daniele Galloppa. After many names circulated as potential successors to the former Milan coach, Roberto D’Aversa seemed to be the chosen one. Many would have preferred a return of Raffaele Palladino, but ultimately the choice fell on Paolo Vanoli, the first coach contacted by management in case of Pioli's dismissal. The former Torino coach is ready to return to the bench after being dismissed in the summer from the granata bench.

It remains to be seen if he will be able to take charge for the next league match or if at least the game against Genoa will be entrusted to the aforementioned Galloppa. It should be noted that Genoa was also strongly pressing for Vanoli, but eventually turned to De Rossi, given Fiorentina's strong interest in the former Venezia coach. Vanoli's task will be to revive Fiorentina's season, which saw significant spending in the summer market, as well as to aim for a deep run in the Conference League.
