Paratici arrives and already has two names for the market

Time is running out, the distance from the safety zone risks increasing. There Fiorentina it tremendously needs a turning point, both corporate and consequently sporting. Fabio Paratici is the figure chosen to take charge of the situation and rebuild everything before it’s too late, assuming it isn’t already. The 53-year-old manager has given his approval to Viola, and hopes to close very soon because there isn’t even a moment left to waste. The feeling is that the right date for the definition of the negotiation is Monday 5 January, i.e. the day after Tottenham-Sunderland, a match valid for the twentieth round of the Premier League. Probably Paratici’s last challenge in London, given that he will later become a Viola manager.

Vanoli resists on the bench

To begin with, trust Paolo Vanoli. The coach from Varese remains firmly in his position although he suffered his sixth defeat since he coached Fiorentina (7 November). A defeat against Udinese could have irreversibly compromised his position on the Viola bench, but instead it guaranteed him another opportunity despite the disappointing result in Parma. It is clear that no more mistakes will be allowed. Now only the corporate shock is awaited. A few more days and Paratici will be in Tuscany. Question of technical times. We remind you that his contract with Spurs will expire in 2030, but his arrival in Florence is scheduled for the first week of January. So in time to prepare the winter transfer window.

Paratici, the role within Fiorentina

Paratici will have the task of resetting everything. Both in the organic and in the philosophy. He will have a total, operational and decision-making role. He won’t just be a transfer man: he will combine the club and the team. At Juventus he had the role of manager of the technical area, but above all of CEO. He will indicate the guidelines at Viola Park, as well as organize the operations. He will compare himself with the players, he will have to understand who is willing to stay (or who simply deserves it). Someone has already asked for the transfer, like Richardson who is in negotiations with Nice. Someone else made it clear, like Martinelli and Dzeko. There are those who will be evaluated based on their attitude on the pitch, this is the case of Gudmundsson.

Reinforcements on the market

Unless Fiorentina prefers loans, they will have to sell to buy. No constraints from the FIGC Federal Commission, let’s be clear, but the club is dealing with a deficit recorded in the last signing campaign. Comuzzo’s farewell could result in significant revenue. Also watch out for Nicolussi Caviglia, who has Cagliari on him. Diego Coppola, from Brighton, and Radu Dragusin remain current incoming playersof Tottenham, the latter being more difficult because they are reluctant to play in a team fighting not to be relegated. In midfield we like Eric Martel, whose contract expires with Cologne next June. For the wing there is the option of Jeremie Boga leaving Nice. Who knows, a trade with Richardson might materialize.
