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.
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.

Lamborghini wants to vroom ahead in its limited-edition hybrid Fenomeno
Italian luxury marque Automobili Lamborghini has introduced its most powerful V12 yet with the launch of the Fenomeno, a few-off limited edition PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) supercar. The company said the adoption of a hybrid drivetrain was aimed at enhancing driving pleasure rather than following industry trends. 'We didn't do hybrid because everyone else is doing it; we did it when it could offer more driving pleasure,' Matteo Ortenzi, Revuelto Product Line Director told ETAuto during a media interaction. He added that the move coincided with the availability of technology that could deliver performance gains without diluting the brand's core identity. Revealed at the Monterey Car Week 2025, the Fenomeno is a limited edition of 29 units which are already sold out. It is paired with a 6.5-litre V12 engine with three electric motors to produce a combined 1,080 CV — 835 CV from the V12 and 245 CV from the electric units. It can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, reach 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds and has a top speed of over 350 km/h. Its dry weight-to-power ratio stands at 1.64 kg/CV. ETAuto earlier reported how Lamborghini is moving ahead with hybrid powertrains as electrification is coming at a slower pace than expected. However, the company plans to launch its upcoming electric vehicle models as per the schedule. Aligning with company's strategy Lamborghini said the new hybrid system, combined with a high-revving combustion engine, is designed to ensure electrification complements rather than compromises its trademark driving experience. The system features two axial-flow electric motors on the front axle for torque vectoring and regenerative braking, and a third integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox to deliver rear-axle torque and support all-electric driving. It comes with a 7 kWh lithium-ion battery that is positioned centrally in the chassis. Described as a 'design manifesto', the Fenomeno sports a longtail profile, clean lines and advanced aerodynamics, including an S-Duct system, a mobile rear wing with an 'omega' design and more than 30 per cent more efficient side cooling compared to production V12 models. It also debuts the new Lamborghini logo unveiled in 2024. The model continues the brand's tradition of limited-run cars such as the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián and Countach, with deliveries restricted to select clients. In 2024, the italian brand sold a record 113 units in India, a 10 per cent growth compared to 2023.
