Fiorentina are set to officially announce Stefano Pioli as their new manager on Saturday, July 12, after agreeing terms several weeks ago.

The 59-year-old accepted an offer from Fiorentina earlier in June, Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla reported on June 5. However, Pioli is still contracted to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr and is awaiting the termination by mutual consent, a process that was completed on June 25.

Pioli is set to arrive in เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย Florence on Sunday to begin pre-season training, marking his second spell in charge at his old club, having previously managed Fiorentina from 2017 to 2019.

It was a difficult period for the club, after the shocking death of captain Davide Astori. An event that endeared Pioli to players and fans alike for his leadership and mental strength.

After leaving Fiorentina, Pioli made his name with AC Milan. Where he led the team to Serie A title in 2022, before moving to Al-Nassr in September 2024.

Fiorentina initially hoped to continue working with Raffaele Palladino. Who had just been handed a new contract. But he surprisingly decided to leave the team at the end of the season. Having only been in the position for a year.
