Tomorrow, Fiorentina will play their last championship match against Cagliari, waiting to bet all their chips on the Conference League final against Olympiacos in Athens. Then, with the hope of bringing home the trophy, there will be time and opportunity to also talk about the future of the bench.
Because, barring twists and turns, I haven’t expected the farewell of today Vincenzo Italiano it will be a reality as soon as possible, with the coach having already let the club know that he considers his cycle on the banks of the Arno closed. Napoli had moved on him before turning on Gasperini, while he could become an idea for Bologna in the event that an agreement with Sarri is not reached following Thiago Motta’s departure.
For the Fiorentina coach, however, there is also the Turin in the running: in the next few weeks, in any case after the Conference League final, president Urbano Cairo will make a further attempt following the polls of the recent past. At the moment he doesn’t seem to have opened up, but a lot will also depend on the alternatives he has in hand. In the event that Italian’s no were to arrive, Torino would give the decisive squeeze on Paolo Vanoli. Even in this case, however, we need to wait: despite an already defined basis of agreement, in fact, the coach is still involved in the long playoff race with Venezia, victorious on the Palermo pitch in the first leg of the semi-finals to move up to Serie A.
