Fiorentina coach Beppe Iachini seems set to leave the Artemio Franchi for the second time this summer and wants to finish the season ‘in a great way’.
Iachini was sacked in November and brought back in March, when Cesare Prandelli resigned from the job in a chaotic campaign for the Tuscans.
Fiorentina are unbeaten in four games, including wins over Hellas Verona and Lazio, but the coach seems set to leave after the campaign.

Iachini was sacked in November and brought back in March, when Cesare Prandelli resigned from the job in a chaotic campaign for the Tuscans.
Fiorentina are unbeaten in four games, including wins over Hellas Verona and Lazio, but the coach seems set to leave after the campaign.
Reports claim President Rocco Commisso is in talks with Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso ahead of 2021-22 and Iachini seemed to salute the Viola early during his press conference.
“I was called back in a moment of great difficulty,” Iachini said. “I couldn’t say no for three reasons.
“First, because I’m attached to the Viola jersey and to Florence, and I wanted to reciprocate the affection in such a complicated moment.
“Second, because the President has always shown great esteem towards me, both for the person and for the work he had seen on the pitch.
“Finally, for the relationship with the group and the whole team, with whom we have lived through the pandemic and COVID together.
“I felt like coming back to lend a hand and try to bring my experience. I did it very willingly and with my heart.
“Now, we are reaching our target in a difficult championship. I think about finishing the season in the best possible way and when the season is over, even if the relationships are excellent, Beppe will go down his own path.
“Here, I’m not only a coach, I also lose my health and perhaps it’s better to think about other things. In football, you can never say never, but I like to remain with a great relationship with everyone and a great feeling. I want to finish in a great way.”
