Former Fiorentina player Massimo Orlando had his say on the new coach
Former Fiorentina player Massimo Orlando commented to - the landing place of Palladino on the purple bench:
THE TECHNICIAN
—
“Palladino will find a disappointed place, but at the same time aware of the growth that has taken place in recent years. The level has risen, both in Italy and in Europe and now expectations are high. This is a wonderful place, but very difficult. He has never won big trophies, but there is always the desire to do something important. I really believe that we have hired a very good and prepared coach, but now it is up to the club to provide him with a team that is up to the task. Palladino is a young boy who has already gained experience, but if he were to have an inferior team to the one Italiano has had in recent seasons, he risks hitting a wall.”
THE ATTACK
—
“First of all we need a center forward. It’s true that Italiano’s game led to many players scoring, but it’s equally true that in recent years he’s what has been missing the most. Fiorentina has bought four players in the last two years, but for one reason or another, all have been failures.”
