Fiorentina Sack Pioli After Winless Serie A Start

Fiorentina has dismissed head coach Stefano Pioli following one of their worst starts to a Serie A season. The club confirmed Pioli's departure on Monday amid ongoing struggles in Italy's top flight.

Under Pioli, Fiorentina has yet to secure a victory after 10 Serie A matches, accumulating only four points and sitting at the bottom of the league table. Their record stands at four draws and six losses, marking the third occasion in club history they have lost six of their first 10 matches, previously in 1939/40 and 2001/02.

The team's home performance has also been poor, losing four of the first five home games for the second time ever, with the last comparable season being 1977/78.

Pioli initially signed a three-year contract this summer, beginning his second tenure with the club (he previously managed Fiorentina from June 2017 to April 2019). Despite a long Serie A managerial career with Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan, and Parma, this is the first time Pioli has not won a single league match as a head coach of any club.

Interim Coach Appointment

Daniele Galloppa, the Under-20 team coach, has been appointed as the interim manager. He will lead Fiorentina in their upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Mainz 05 on Thursday, where Fiorentina currently tops their group after two games.

"The head coach was relieved of first-team duties on Monday, with Under-20s coach Daniele Galloppa appointed in the interim role."
"Fiorentina have lost six of their first 10 Serie A games of the season for the third time in their history."

Despite the dismal league start, Fiorentina remains focused on their European campaign under the new temporary leadership.

Summary: Fiorentina has fired Stefano Pioli after a winless start in Serie A, appointing Daniele Galloppa as interim coach while battling relegation and leading their Conference League group.
