Fiorentina has already turned the page and at least in terms of timing there is little to object to the chronology chosen by the Viola club. The time to say goodbye to Italiano, at the end of a victory in Bergamo that leaves the time he finds, and here is Palladino, successor of the now former Viola coach not yet completely convinced of crossing the Apennines to join Bologna at the court by Sartori. A change that was announced in advance, but was carried out quickly, and from this point of view the Viola managers did well to work together to settle the first of the two fundamental pieces for the restart (the next will be the one relating to the director who will take over from Burdisso, at Goretti century).
The day of Palladino and the judgments on the three-year cycle of Italiano – So yesterday, while Palladino got off the train for the second time in Santa Maria Novella, it was the day of judgments on the three-year cycle of Vincenzo Italiano, concluded with an eighth place and (a ‘other) European final lost. Over the course of his management, the coach has certainly divided, also due to his nature, but at least for this writer he has fully achieved his main objective: that of giving soul and identity to an all too anonymous Fiorentina. If the first two years of the Commisso era were characterized by the succession of coaches (Montella, Iachini, Prandelli and then Iachini again) since his first year Italiano has rebuilt the group, giving it compactness, character, spirit of sacrifice and above all a universally recognized uniqueness. In Italy and Europe.
Identity and character are Italiano’s true successes – It could be argued that his footballing creed, defending well and attacking very well, was paid dearly, especially in the final in Prague, or in the last cup semi-final in Bergamo, but in a club that cannot aspire to lift a trophy every year, and in a particular place like Florence, this was precisely the main mission to pursue, to make itself unique and close to the soul of the passionate Viola who feels different from every other fan. In this Italian he succeeded completely. And then it will be necessary to take into account how and to what extent the club, in the transfer market, has often dealt with him without him, both in sales and purchases, so much so that from Saponara’s adaptation to the role of winger in the absence of alternatives up to he last transfer window in January, it’s not difficult to see how the coach could (and should) be supported more. Meanwhile, the Italian has received a call from Bologna for an adventure in the Champions League, and regardless of what he decides, this goal already seems to represent the certification of the good work done in Florence. Certainly the Viola fans have also spared him from recent criticism, and it’s a nice medal on the coach’s chest.
Fiorentina restarts, today the first answers await the facts – Today in the meantime the management will take stock of the future, after the restart of the last hours witnessed by the arrival in the city of Palladino, by the option exercised for the annual extension of Kouamè’s contact and from the renewal of Quarta. First steps of a new season that Ferrari CEO and sporting director Pradè will outline today in a press conference after the race in Bergamo. It was after the 3-2 against Atalanta that Pradè himself returned to the disappointment of Athens, confirming dialectical skills already recognized in the past, but certainly given the bill presented by the fans, more will be needed. In short, for once it was not the press that put the team, club and ownership in the dock, but rather that Viola people who at the end of the first five years signed by Commisso can only show disappointment at how much the scenarios have changed since the beginning of the year, when the Fiorentina was fourth in the standings. If in the defeat of Athens there are in fact responsibilities attributable to those who went on the pitch (and also to those who guided them from the bench) it is in the overall management that Fiorentina has not confirmed those ambitions that the square would like to pursue more or less every year, also because the third consecutive participation in the Conference League is the result of a championship (another one) in which the European doors have widened, while last year’s Italian Cup final came at the end of a downhill journey at the very least given the opponents faced.
It’s already a transfer market – More than words, in short, the facts of the immediate future will count, starting with a market that promises to be effervescent for the many departures, and the resulting replacements arriving. It is no coincidence that the rumors are already going crazy, and if at home Viola is reflected on the possible offers for the renewals of Bonaventura and Castrovilli (in addition to the possibility of a loan from Zaniolo’s Galatasaray or an attempt for the Cagliari defender Dossena) in Rome , Giallorossi side, there are those who are looking at Ikonè and Biraghi, while from Spain, in particular from Atletico Madrid, transfer sirens could sound for Nico Gonzalez who is returning from a less than brilliant year. In the meantime, Palladino has already indicated three names to follow in his former team, so it would not be surprising if Fiorentina soon set their sights on a trio made up of Warren Bondo, Andrea Colpani and his son Daniel Maldini who, after his loan to Monza, Milan would be willing to give up.
