Fiorentina Sack Pioli After Winless Start in Serie A

Fiorentina has dismissed head coach Stefano Pioli on Monday following one of the club's worst starts in Serie A history. After 10 matches without a single victory, the team finds itself last in the league with only four points.

Interim Coaching Appointment

Daniele Galloppa, the Under-20s coach, has been named the interim head coach. He will oversee the upcoming Conference League match against Mainz 05 on Thursday, where Fiorentina currently leads their group after two games.

Record and Historical Context

Fiorentina has suffered six losses in their first 10 Serie A games this season, matching lows previously seen only in 1939/40 and 2001/02.
The club also lost four of their first five home games this season, a poor run seen only once before, in 1977/78.

Pioli’s Tenure Highlights

Pioli began his second spell with Fiorentina this summer, signing a three-year contract. His previous time at the club was from June 2017 to April 2019. Despite managing top Serie A clubs such as Bologna, Chievo, Inter, Lazio, Milan, and Parma, this marks the first time Pioli failed to secure a league victory as head coach.

"Fiorentina have confirmed that they have sacked head coach Stefano Pioli."

"Galloppa will take charge of the Viola’s Conference League fixture against Mainz 05 on Thursday, with the Italian side top of the league phase after two games."

Summary: Fiorentina ended Stefano Pioli's tenure after a historically poor Serie A start, appointing Daniele Galloppa as interim coach ahead of their Conference League clash.
