La Fiorentina, 12th in Serie A after the first 7 rounds have been played, he dismissed his until now coach, Giuseppe Iachini, and appointed as a substitute Cesare Prandelli, who was already coach of the Viola team between 2005 and 2010. The 0-0 at Parma's home has meant the end of Iachini in the position, which he held since December 23, 2019, when he relieved Vincenzo Montella.
“After a careful and scrupulous analysis of the start of the season and the results obtained, the club believes that the best solution is to terminate the duties of the current coach,” Fiorentina announced on its website.
Giuseppe Iachini, who joined the club less than a year ago, is the first manager to be fired this season in Serie A. Prandelli, Italy coach between 2010 and 2014, will lead his first training session this Tuesday afternoon, according to Fiorentina.
Prandelli returns to a Fiore which he qualified twice for the Champions League (and reached the last 16 in 2010), he led to the semi-finals of the Europa League (in 2014-15, it was Sevilla who left the Tuscans out of the final ). The viola were this summer without Federico Chiesa, who went to Juventus.
Prandelli is 63 years old and in 2016 he coached Valencia. His last team had been Genoa, which he managed in 2018-19. He also held the benches of Atalanta, Lecce, Verona, Venezia, Parma, Roma, Galatasaray and Al Nasr of the United Arab Emirates.
