Still winless in Serie A, Fiorentina part ways with coach Stefano Pioli | OneFootball

Without a win in the first ten rounds of the Italian Championship, Fiorentina decided to dismiss coach Stefano Pioli. The decision was made after yet another setback, this time against the modest Lecce, who won 1-0 at the Artemio Franchi in Florence, complicating Viola, who are at the bottom of the national tournament.

In addition to Pioli, his technical staff was also dismissed from Fiorentina. Now, the team's management begins working to find a replacement for the two-time Italian champion. Meanwhile, permanent assistant Daniele Galloppa takes over temporarily.

Low Performance

Pioli took over Fiorentina this season after being dismissed from Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The Italian stayed for only 14 games with the team, achieving four wins, four draws, and six losses, registering a performance rate of only 38%.

The four victories of Fiorentina under Pioli's command came in the Conference League. The team twice overcame Polissya Zhytomyr-UKR in the preliminary phase, defeated Sigma-CZE and Rapid Vienna-AUT in the league phase. In the Italian Championship, there are four draws and six losses.

Could They Be Relegated?

Since recovering from the severe financial crisis that hit them in 2001, Fiorentina returned to the top tier of Italian football in 2004 and has not been relegated since.

However, the poor start in the competition raises an alert for Fiorentina. Stuck at the bottom with only four points from ten rounds, the team is two points behind Pisa, the first team outside the relegation zone.

Under Galloppa's command, Fiorentina prepares for the next match. The team returns to the field against Mainz 05-GER, for the third round of the Conference League.
