Fiorentina discussing economic agreement to sack Stefano Pioli

Stefano Pioli’s tenure as Fiorentina manager appears to be nearing its end, with club management actively working to secure an economic agreement for his departure. The defeat against Lecce has reportedly served as the decisive shock, prompting the Viola hierarchy to conclude that a change on the bench is inevitable.

According to reports from TuttoMercatoWeb, the club’s leadership—represented by Technical Director Goretti and General Manager Ferrari—has resolved to proceed with the coaching change amidst a crisis of results that has deeply unsettled the environment.

The current priority for Fiorentina’s management is the intricate task of defining the financial contours of the separation with Pioli. This negotiation is a crucial step due to the significant financial commitment made to the coach last summer, when he signed a three-year contract reportedly worth over €3 million net per season.

While the contractual fine print is being addressed, the search for Pioli’s successor continues. Paolo Vanoli remains the leading candidate to take over, although the prospect of an interim solution, such as promoting Primavera coach Daniele Galloppa, is also being considered for the immediate future.
