- Primavera coach Daniele Galloppa will lead the team for the trip to Mainz in the Conference League and the league match at Genoa this week.
- Fiorentina sits bottom after 10 Serie A matches with four points, with the home loss to Lecce accelerating the decision to change coach.
- Reporting in Italy places Roberto D’Aversa as the leading candidate, with Paolo Vanoli, Raffaele Palladino, Thiago Motta and Daniele De Rossi also cited as options.
- Italian outlets say Pioli rejected a proposed net €3 million season payout, leaving Fiorentina facing a costlier sacking; a single report links his stance to a tax arrangement involving prior Al-Nassr income.
