Paratici Takes Charge at Fiorentina as Vanoli Kept for Now, January Overhaul Looms

The club turns to a full-power technical chief to arrest a slide toward relegation under tight budget limits.

Overview

  • Fabio Paratici has agreed to lead Fiorentina’s technical area and is expected to arrive in the first week of January with broad authority over strategy and the winter window, according to Italian reports.
  • Paolo Vanoli remains on the bench for the Cremonese match and retains backing to drive the survival push, with his position to be evaluated by Paratici based on upcoming results.
  • Corriere dello Sport reports an immediate reshaping of the squad is planned in January, with targets including Jérémie Boga, Eric Martel and Diego Coppola, while a move for Radu Drăgușin is considered difficult.
  • To fund reinforcements, sales are likely, with Richardson in talks with Nice, Comuzzo seen as a potential significant sale and Nicolussi Caviglia linked to Cagliari after a prior market deficit.
  • Financial constraints remain a key factor, and earlier reporting noted that Pioli’s costly contract and the team’s league position complicate any pursuit of a new high-profile coach.
