Serie A: Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino departs after one season
Fiorentina says coach Raffaele Palladino has left the Serie A club by mutual consent after only one season in charge.
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.
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.

Italy will be without defender Alessandro Buongiorno for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova, the country's football federation said on Sunday. Napoli centre-back Buongiorno has failed to recover from a thigh injury in time for Italy's opening matches in Group I and has been replaced by Fiorentina's Luca Ranieri, who has never played for the senior national team. Coach Luciano Spalletti has a 27-man squad for the first two matches of the qualifying campaign, which begins in Oslo against Erling Haaland's Norway on Friday. Italy, which failed to qualify for the last two World Cups, then hosts Moldova three days later in Reggio Emilia.
