Fiorentina: Experts analyze coaching changes and squad pressure
Former football figures Oscar Damiani and Cesare Prandelli have shared their perspectives on the current state of Fiorentina following recent coaching changes.
Damiani noted the high pressure of playing in Florence, specifically mentioning that players like Arthur Atta face a different level of scrutiny compared to smaller clubs. He also expressed concerns regarding the physical durability of Franco Mastantuono in the tactically demanding Italian league. Damiani suggested that while the summer squad overhaul carried risks, the club remains capable of returning to European competition.
Cesare Prandelli commented on the transition from former coach Grosso to Paolo Vanoli. He suggested that Grosso may not have been given sufficient time to balance a highly technical squad, potentially due to late player arrivals or preparation issues. Prandelli observed that the team has shown improved aggression and structure under Vanoli's leadership in recent matches.
