Fiorentina market, imminent arrival of Paolo Vanoli

Overcoming competition from Roberto D’Aversa, whom the square has shown it does not like, and Raffaele Palladino, whose return would be surprising, Paolo Vanoli is close to becoming Fiorentina’s new coach. After days of continuous contacts, the former Torino coach is now in the final phase of negotiations that should bring him to the purple bench.

One last formal step remains to be overcome: the consensual termination of the contract that still binds him to the Granata club. His entourage is working to close quickly, with the goal of making him available as early as the next league match against Genoa, thus kicking off the new course after the Pioli era.

For the Varese man, Fiorentina has ready a one-year contract with an option for the following season. The agreement also includes bonuses linked to results: a bonus for a placement in the left side of the standings (from 10th place upwards) and additional incentives in case of qualification for European cups, with increasing amounts depending on the competition (Conference, Europa or Champions League).

For Vanoli this would be a return to Florence. As a player he arrived in the purple in 2000 from Parma, winning the Coppa Italia, the second of his career, also scoring in the first leg final against the Ducali. After a co-ownership renewal in 2001, the two clubs failed to agree on a buyout in 2002 and it went to envelopes. On October 1 of that year, Vanoli was released following the bankruptcy of the Tuscan club.
