According to a report from All Market Network, Fiorentina has contacted former Italy coach Mancini for coaching.

There has been preliminary contact between Florence and Mancini. Mancini is also considered an "old player" in Florence. He started coaching Viola in the 2000/01 season and led the team to win the Italian Cup that season, which was also Fiorentina's last championship so far. He resigned as coach the following year as the club faced serious financial problems, and the club was on the verge of bankruptcy a few months later due to financial problems.

Currently, the main alternative being evaluated by the club seems to be to bring back Palladino, an option that is welcomed by most of the current players. The names of Vanoli and Nesta are also under consideration, while Daversa's competitiveness has obviously weakened.
