Following the Fiorentina statement regarding his future, Stefano Pioli made the decision to resign as Fiorentina manager. The coach pondered the decision in the past few days, as the club had issued a statement after the Frosinone game, where it took 48 hours to evaluate Pioli's position.
Pioli believes that the circumstance requires that him and the club part ways, despite being still in the run to win the Coppa Italia, with the Viola set to face Atalanta in the second leg of the domestic competition. The resignation letter will soon be delivered to Fiorentina and the club will appoint the youth team coach Bigica as temporary manager.
