(AP Photo/Jose Breton) FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Fiorentina says coach Raffaele Palladino has left the Serie A club 'by mutual consent' after only one season in charge. It was reported earlier this week that Palladino had handed in his resignation but that the club was trying to convince the 41-year-old coach to stay. Advertisement 'Fiorentina can confirm that Raffaele Palladino's contract, as well as those of his backroom team, has today been terminated by mutual consent,' the Italian club said Friday in a brief statement. Palladino coached Fiorentina to a sixth-placed finish in Serie A and a Conference League spot. It was regarded as a successful season, so his reported resignation had caught club management off guard. Fiorentina also reached the semifinals of the Conference League. It had lost in the final of that competition in each of the previous two seasons, under Vincenzo Italiano. Less than a week after the season ended, the Serie A coaching carousel is ramping up. Massimiliano Allegri returned to AC Milan on Friday and a number of other changes are expected. ___ AP soccer:

Manchester City see €60 million opening bid rejected for primary summer transfer target
Officials at Manchester City have seen their opening bid made to AC Milan for Tijjani Reijnders rejected, it has been widely reported. The 26-year-old central midfielder is widely believed to be Manchester City's primary target for the 'No.8' position in the middle of the park, as part of a wide-ranging refresh of their playing squad before the new season. Advertisement With work also expected to be done in defence and further forward in the central roles, there is an ambition within the club to complete large elements of their business before this summer's FIFA Club World Cup. Speaking during a new interview with the club's official website, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said of summer recruitment plans, 'We've clearly identified who exactly are the targets, in what positions, and we have our clear number one, our clear number two option. 'We'll go about our business, it will be very clear, very swift. Our objective is to be ready with the new squad for the Club World Cup,' he added. Advertisement And it appears as though that direction is continuing with an opening proposal made for one of their primary targets in the last 24 hours, as plans step up to get Manchester City back competing at the very highest level of the European game. That is according to the information of market insider Fabrizio Romano, who reveals that Manchester City's opening bid for midfielder Tijjani Reijnders was received by AC Milan in recent hours with the proposal worth around €60 million including add-ons. It is stressed that the Italian giants certainly want more to let the midfielder leave for the Etihad Stadium this summer, and despite the opening proposal being rejected, negotiations are said to be advancing. Additional reporting from Calciomercato's Daniele Longo revealed that City's opening bid was made up of a €55 million transfer fee, plus a further €5 million in potential add-ons. This is a developing story. More to follow.
