Fiorentina ends contract with coach Paolo Vanoli after securing Serie A survival

Fiorentina announced the official termination of its agreement with head coach Paolo Vanoli, whose contract expires on 30 June. The club thanked Vanoli and his staff for rescuing the team from the bottom of the Serie A table, noting that they achieved survival without a win in the first fifteen matches – a feat the club said had never been accomplished before in the league’s history. President Giuseppe B. Commisso praised Vanoli’s “strength, seriousness and courage” in restoring confidence, unity and compactness within the squad. Players such as Fagioli and Parisi also posted messages of gratitude on social media.

The departure marks the end of Vanoli’s seven‑month tenure, which began in early November when the team was winless and last‑placed. While the contract will formally end on 30 June, Vanoli is now free to negotiate future opportunities. Commentators noted that the full significance of his achievement may only be appreciated in years to come.
