Fiorentina has parted ways with manager Raffaele Palladino, just three weeks after he signed a contract extension until 2027.
The club announced the termination of Palladino’s contract, citing no specific reasons for the decision. Palladino’s tenure at Fiorentina was marked by some promising results, including leading the team to their best league position since 2016 and guiding them to the Conference League finals in the past two seasons.
However, the team’s failure to win a trophy since 2001 and Palladino’s style not resonating with the fans likely contributed to the decision.
Fiorentina’s fans have been growing increasingly frustrated with owner Rocco Commisso, who bought the club in 2019. The team’s recent performances, including a Conference League semi-final exit to Real Betis and a loss to Venezia in the league, may have sealed Palladino’s fate.
Despite finishing sixth in the Serie A standings and qualifying for the Conference League next season, Fiorentina’s expectations are high, and the club is likely to look for a new manager who can bring the trophy drought to an end.
