In early October, players Joao Mario and Beto expressed optimism regarding Fiorentina’s direction under coach Vanoli. Joao Mario, on loan from Juventus, highlighted improvements in team energy and balance, while Beto praised the club’s facilities and expressed ambition to compete for Champions League football.

By late October, Joao Mario’s situation shifted as he struggled to maintain a consistent role in the lineup. Due to the development of Alex Jimenez and the return of Dodo, his playing time has diminished. Consequently, his future at the club remains uncertain, with potential moves to Juventus or Bologna being considered during the January transfer window.
