🎥 Fiorentina fans fuming outside the stadium, Ranieri’s dramatic outburst 😱 | OneFootball

After yet another defeat for Fiorentina (details here), Pioli's position is at great risk. The club is in a media blackout and the Viola fans have started a protest.

Thousands are protesting outside the authority stand, chanting against players, the coach, and the club.

Protest, media blackout, retreat, and Ranieri's spectacle

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the club is considering Pioli's future, while La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that his dismissal is likely. With the team going into retreat, the potential new coach would be chosen by Roberto Goretti: the current technical director, with the approval of Alessandro Ferrari (DG) and president Commisso.

Pioli, on the other hand, is not considering resignation - reports FirenzeViola - and is waiting for the club's decision. During the match, the chant: "The bench is shaking" was already heard, but the Viola ultras are also targeting some players.

In this context, the behavior of captain Ranieri after the penalty was revoked at the monitor, on the suggestion of VAR, does not help.

At the end of the match, Ranieri falls near Pierotti, but referee Rapuano cancels the penalty because Ranieri tripped himself. During the review, both Pioli and Ranieri get very close to the monitor, with the Viola captain addressing the fourth official Ayroldi: "If he doesn't whistle for the penalty, I'll make a scene."

The full-back was then booked by the referee due to subsequent protests. A spectacle that was not well received by fans and spectators.
