(ANSA) – FLORENCE, JUNE 03 – The official announcement is missing, which will arrive immediately after the signing of the contract (a two-year agreement with the option for a third is expected) but Raffaele Palladino is very close to becoming the new coach of Fiorentina, taking over from Vincenzo Italiano. Palladino arrived at the Santa Maria Novella station in Florence a few minutes ago, and in the next few minutes he will most likely arrive at Viola Park where he will sign the agreement with the Viola club, after an agreement was reached with Rocco’s company last Friday Commisso.
It cannot be ruled out that the official announcement could arrive today. At Fiorentina, meanwhile, the contract renewal of Argentine defender Martinez Quarta is official. “ACF Fiorentina communicates – it is written in a note from the club – that the player Lucas Martinez Quarta has renewed the contract that binds him to the Viola club until 30 June 2028. The Viola defender, with the Fiorentina shirt, has collected 126 matches between Serie A, Italian Cup and UEFA Conference League, scoring 11 goals and wearing the captain’s armband 6 times.” “I had been waiting for this moment for a long time, we started talking when Barone was still among us – Martinez Quarta’s comment to the Fiorentina media -. It was important for this step we took. I’ve been here for 4 years, I’m linked to the city. I would have liked to do this interview with the Conference League cup ahead of me, but it wasn’t possible. Fiorentina is a great club, growing, I want to be part of it. Now it’s a good challenge after Athens, am I ready? From that point of view the year was excellent, I managed to help the team. I will try again next season.” (HANDLE). .
