Pioli's Future Hinges on Lecce Match as Fiorentina Slide Deepens

Club officials label the fixture "life or death" following nine winless rounds that left the team penultimate.

Overview

  • Fiorentina have four points from nine Serie A matches with no victories, a collapse documented across Italian outlets.
  • The club has retained Stefano Pioli for now, with multiple reports indicating a win over Lecce would keep him in charge while another failure could trigger his exit.
  • Italian media link Paolo Vanoli, Daniele De Rossi and Thiago Motta as possible replacements, reported as options under consideration rather than agreed candidates.
  • Robin Gosens is expected to miss the Lecce match after tests identified a muscle issue in his left thigh.
  • Pioli is preparing adjustments for Sunday, with Pongracic and Ranieri slated to return in defense and Moise Kean to spearhead the attack, potentially with Gudmundsson in support.
