Fiorentina Sink Again in 3-1 Defeat at Sassuolo as Winless Run Reaches 14

Vanoli signals a reset with public demands for greater midfield discipline.

Overview

  • Sassuolo overturned Mandragora’s early penalty with goals from Volpato and Muharemovic before Koné sealed a 3-1 victory at the Mapei Stadium.
  • Fiorentina stay bottom of Serie A on 6 points with no league wins after 14 matches, extending a sequence that includes three straight defeats across competitions.
  • Post-match coverage highlights recurring defensive lapses, with editorials warning that relegation is becoming a tangible threat.
  • Vanoli called for more from Nicolò Fagioli and Nicolussi Caviglia, urging Fagioli to play forward more often and stressing better positional discipline in midfield.
  • The coach said a switch to a back four is under consideration and confirmed short-term absences, with Robin Gosens unlikely to feature and Fazzini out with an ankle issue.
