This year, after a disappointing start to the season, the "Fiorentina" club, returning to Serie A, decided to dismiss their head coach, Emiliano Mondonico.

On Sunday, after a draw with "Udinese," the Florence team dropped to fourteenth place with 7 points, and the coach, feeling dissatisfaction and criticism from those around him, even began to doubt his chances of staying on the team.

So on Monday, the club considered the situation and decided to part ways with the coach who helped the team move up from the Serie B league last season.

"Fiorentina was greatly surprised by Emiliano Mondonico's considerations after yesterday's match, and claims that they do not agree with them, as the club has never criticized his work. Also, Fiorentina, respecting its commitment to the city, players, and fans, must acknowledge the problems that E. Mondonico encountered while performing his duties." - announced in the club's press release.

For Wednesday's match against "Reggina," the goalkeeping coach, Sergio Buso, was appointed as the interim coach, and it is believed that the new coach could join the team as early as this Sunday.

Among the candidates for the vacant position are currently unemployed coaches such as A. Zaccheroni, D. Zoff, H. Cuper, C. Prandelli, as well as F. Terim, A. Malesani.
