The Florentine Iachini era begins

Giuseppe Iachini's new adventure on the purple bench will officially begin on Saturday when at 4.30 pm, at the Franchi stadium, there will be a presentation to the press. For the successor of the exonerated Montella it is a return having worn the purple jersey as a player for five seasons and 127 games, from 1984 to 1994. The task that now awaits the 55-year-old technician from the Marche is very demanding considering the position ranking in which the team slipped, close to the relegation zone after the negative results of the last few months: Pezzella and his companions have not won in the league since 30 October (2-1 on the Sassuolo field), since then they have just scored two points in the last seven games. A profound crisis that Iachini, tied to the club violates with an 18-month contract (until June and for the following season), is called to resolve as soon as the patron Commisso hopes and the fans are increasingly worried.
After tomorrow's presentation, the new purple coach will lead the first training session on Sunday at the sports center where he will meet and the players and will start to confront the managers on the market: this Fiorentina needs at least one graft per department, starting with the attack so the names that are circulating are those of Piatek (on loan), Cutrone, Zaza and Petagna. While for the Brazilian Pedro, who has had very little space in Florence so far, Flamengo's interest is growing. Meanwhile, with a note the purple club has made official the farewell from December 31, after 13 seasons, of the head of the youth sector Vincenzo Vergine next to move to Milan. '' After many years, the time has come to try new challenges '' the message from the Apulian executive.
