Vincenzo Italiano and Davide Ballardini faced each other four times as coaches. There is still a zero between the two and it’s a draw: the former has won twice and the latter has prevailed twice. Ballardini achieved success in the 2020/21 season with his Genoa team that beat Spezia both at home and away. Then came two affirmations in a row for the Kralsruhe-born coach.
Italiano’s record against Sassuolo is also balanced with three wins, three defeats and only one draw. Since he has led the Viola team, in Florence he has achieved a victory and a draw against the Emilians.
However, Ballardini’s tradition against Fiorentina is not good. It’s a team, the lily one, against which the Ravenna coach often loses. Only two statements from him and the last one is starting to be quite dated: Fiorentina-Palermo 0-2 on 8 March 2009. We are therefore talking about 15 years ago. Since then 5 draws and 7 defeats against the Viola for him.
