Paolo Vanoli praised as Fiorentina boss amid looming contract talks

Paolo Vanoli Fiorentina contract extension Massimo Drago Atalanta match

Former Fiorentina assistant Massimo Drago said on Radio Firenze Violadurante that Paolo Vanoli delivered an "exceptional" job, guiding the club through a period of fear and keeping the team on course. Drago added that while some recent performances fell short, Vanoli could remain if the club decides to extend his contract. He highlighted the potential departure of several players next season and the value of young talents such as Comuzzo and Mandragora.

Club officials are negotiating Vanoli's future, with a deadline expected before the upcoming match against Atalanta. Parallel discussions involve the coaching hierarchy, as De Rossi may move ahead of Grosso, and former coach Iraola is reportedly in talks with English side Crystal Palace.

The talks underscore Fiorentina's aim to secure stability and plan for the next season’s squad and staff composition.
