Report Fiorentina ready to fire Palladino if results get worse | OneFootball

There are growing reports that Fiorentina are ready to sack coach Raffaele Palladino after a run of poor results and performances.

The Viola will be in action on Friday evening against Lecce in the opening Serie A Week 27 fixture.

They are coming off a shock 1-0 defeat to Hellas Verona and their current form has been dismal with three consecutive Serie A defeats.

According to Calciomercato.com, Fiorentina directors are preparing a potential Plan B in case they fail to get the better of Lecce.

There are in particular reports of tension with director of sport Daniele Pradè, who commented following the January transfer window that the club “now expects results.”

Among the potential candidates to take over from Palladino are ex-Lazio coach Igor Tudor or former Fiorentina midfielder Alberto Aquilani.

A decision would need to be made relatively soon, as they will face Panathinaikos in the Conference League Round of 16 tie on March 6 and 13.
