Five years. Ninth place in 2005-06, then sixth, fourth for two years in a row, finally eleventh. The best placement on the field was the first year, 44 points in the classification but with a 30 penaltyCesare Prandelli’s first Fiorentina would have fought for the Scudetto that that year went to Inter with 76 points, two more than those won by Viola.
Florence clings to this dream. A coach capable of leading a team that is rebuilding after failure, the C2 years and the difficult promotion to Serie A, to the Champions League. Prandelli brought confidence, ideas, enthusiasm, play, brought great results such as the victory against Liverpool at Anfield Road or the defeat at the Allianz Arena in Munich when the infamous Norwegian referee Øvrebo decided not to see the offside of the Klose kilometer, otherwise, Fiorentina could have eliminated Bayern from the Champions League.
Memories, sweet memories that become pure nostalgia when the players of that time also come to mind, Luca Toni who won the Golden Boot in purple, Gilardino, Jovetic, Mutu. If we think about the strikers that Prandelli will find in his first training session as a new Fiorentina coach, we must be afraid.
Commisso chose him to replace Iachini, who was fired as Montella. Two exemptions in twelve months, three coaches to pay until June. Beppe’s Fiorentina was not playing well, far from it. But football is really fun: watching the last match between Parma and Fiorentina and having to choose a coach to be fired for the match, that coach would not have been Iachini. Who paid the short circuit between ownership (in favor of the Ascoli coach until a few hours ago) and coaches (in favor of his dismissal at the end of the last championship). Iachini was given a team that has little or nothing to do with his football thinking. He wanted a director and he didn’t have one, he needed a true center forward and there are three left to build, they sold Chiesa and took Callejón, which has nothing to do with 3-5-2. These were the company’s choices.
Now it is Prandelli’s turn, who returns to Fiorentina because the Della Vallees are gone, with whom he had broken up in a traumatic way. They had accused him of an agreement already made with Juventus. Instead, he chose the national team. Cesare will configure the team in a completely different way. End of three-man defense, return to four-man line, with Milenkovic and Pezzella in the center, Lirola and Biraghi out, two midfielders (Amrabat and Pulgar or Duncan), Castrovilli in the truck in the middle of Callejón and Ribéry. Then Vlahovic, or Cutrone, in attack. Prandelli will bring the same balance as ten years ago. Not everything has gone well during this decade. Fiorentina, after his years, gradually lowered the level until it was called out of the cups and he, Cesare, who got off to a great start with second place as Italy coach at Euro 2012, resigned at the World Cup. Brazil assuming all technical responsibility (the man is level, as is his dignity), only to fail in Turkey, Spain and Arabia. He recovered by saving Genoa at the end of the 2018-19 championship.
In Florence everyone awaits you with open arms. It will put incredible strength on you. You don’t want to fail at home. Because Florence is her home.
