Beppe Iachini is set to become the new coach at Fiorentina. After losing to Roma, the club decided to make a wholesale change on the bench after the firing of Vincenzo Montella. Soon, the new coach will be officially announced. Rocco Commisso and the Fiorentina directors evaluated the profiles of Spalletti and Blanc for the role before deciding on Iachini just a few hours ago.
The name of Blanc had been strongly considered by the directors, however, the decision was made to give the reigns to someone possessing experience in Serie A, and especially fighting against relegation. Fiorentina will look to climb out of the danger zone of the table with matches against Spal and Bologna upcoming.
The contract agreed to between the sides is an 18-month agreement, with a penalty afforded for early resolution.
