Fiorentina Crisis Deepens: Pioli Refuses to Quit as Club Eyes D’Aversa and Rules Out Vanoli

A media blackout underscores a leadership vacuum following Daniele Pradè’s departure.

Overview

  • Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to Lecce left Fiorentina winless after 10 Serie A matches and 19th on four points, with a late penalty erased on VAR review.
  • Stefano Pioli held a long call with club leaders and refused to resign, though he signaled willingness to adjust contract terms, according to Football Italia.
  • Succession options under evaluation include Primavera coach Daniele Galloppa as a possible interim, reported contacts with Roberto D’Aversa, and Paolo Vanoli now considered out.
  • The club enforced a press silence as supporters jeered the team in the stadium and organized protests outside the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
  • Reporting indicates the board is weighing severance costs and timing, with the squad sent into a training retreat before matches against Mainz in the Conference League and Genoa in Serie A.
