Serie A side Fiorentina have dismissed coach Stefano Pioli following a 10-match winless run to start the season.
Fiorentina announced Pioli’s dismissal via a statement on Tuesday.
“ACF Fiorentina can confirm that Stefano Pioli has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team,” the club stated.
Fiorentina are off to their worst top-flight start in club history, picking up just four points so far after finishing sixth last season.

Pioli, 60, returned to Fiorentina for a second spell in July after less than a year in charge of Saudi side Al-Nassr.
Before his return to Italy, he spent five years at AC Milan but left at the end of the 2023-24 season.
He becomes the third coach in Serie A to lose his job this term. Juventus moved on from Igor Tudor last week, while Genoa parted ways with Patrick Vieira.
Fiorentina named Daniele Galloppa as his replacement on a temporary basis but are reportedly considering Roberto D’Aversa, who has coached Parma, Lecce, and Empoli, and former Torino boss Paolo Vanoli as the successor to Pioli.
