Fiorentina coach Paulo Sousa is beginning to come under intense scrutiny. After Sunday’s goalless draw at home to Atalanta, CEO Pantaleo Corvino backed his coach publicly but this has not managed to reassure the doubters.
 

A name that has begun to circulate around the Stadio Artemio Franchi is that of former Lazio boss Stefano Pioli. He remains one of the most high-profile managers to remain out of work in Italy and he knows La Viola very well having played there during his career. It’s now thought that the upcoming games against Sloval Liberec in the Europa League and Cagliari in Serie A next weekend will be key in deciding Sousa’s future on the bench in Tuscany.
