Overview
- Fiorentina remain winless in nine Serie A matches with four draws and sit second from bottom on four points.
- The club has kept Stefano Pioli in charge with Sunday’s match against Lecce framed internally as a decisive, “life or death” test.
- Fan anger in Florence has intensified, with vocal protests and the #PioliOut hashtag reflecting pressure on the coach and leadership.
- Fiorentina confirmed Robin Gosens suffered a thigh muscle issue and will miss the Lecce game, with reports indicating further short-term absences are likely.
- Genoa dismissed sporting director Marco Ottolini and appointed Diego Lopez, then retained Patrick Vieira at least through Monday’s trip to Sassuolo, which club figures describe as his final chance after the team’s worst Serie A start and last-place standing.
