Overview

• Fiorentina terminated Raffaele Palladino’s contract by mutual consent on May 30, ending his two-year deal that included an option for an extra year.
• The club had extended Palladino’s contract until 2027 on May 7 ahead of its Conference League semi-final second leg with Real Betis.
• The decision follows Fiorentina’s defeat to Real Betis in the Conference League semi-finals and a subsequent 3-1 Serie A loss to Venezia.
• Under Palladino, Fiorentina achieved a sixth-place Serie A finish, their best league result since 2016, securing qualification for next season’s Conference League.
• Supporters have grown impatient with owner Rocco Commisso as the club remains without a trophy since 2001 and has lost three finals in the past two campaigns.
