Fiorentina Sack Pioli After Winless Serie A Start

Fiorentina have dismissed head coach Stefano Pioli following one of the club’s worst Serie A starts in history. The decision came on Monday after the team failed to secure a single win in their first 10 league matches this season.

Interim Appointment and Current Standing

Daniele Galloppa, the Under-20s coach, has been appointed as interim head coach. Fiorentina currently sit at the bottom of Serie A with just four points from 10 games, having drawn four and lost six.

Historical Context of Poor Results

This is the third time Fiorentina have lost six of their opening 10 Serie A matches, with previous occurrences in 1939/40 and 2001/02.
They have also suffered four defeats in their first five home league games, a pattern seen only once before since 1977/78.

Pioli’s Tenure and Record

Pioli began his second spell at Fiorentina in the summer, signing a three-year contract. He previously managed the club from June 2017 to April 2019. Despite managing several Serie A teams like Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan, and Parma, this is the first occasion Pioli has gone winless in league matches with a club.

Upcoming Matches

Galloppa will lead Fiorentina in their upcoming Conference League match against Mainz 05 on Thursday. Fiorentina currently top their group phase after two games.

“Fiorentina have confirmed that they have sacked head coach Stefano Pioli. The head coach was relieved of first-team duties on Monday, with Under-20s coach Daniele Galloppa appointed in the interim role.”

Author’s summary: Fiorentina have dismissed Stefano Pioli due to a historically poor start, appointing Daniele Galloppa as interim manager while struggling at the bottom of Serie A.
