Fiorentina have sacked Vincenzo Montella for the second time after Friday's heavy home loss to Roma left them languishing down in 14th place.
The 4-1 defeat at Artemio Franchi Stadium was La Viola's fifth in six Serie A matches, a run that has them in danger of slipping into a relegation battle.
Fiorentina have only managed to pick up two points from a possible 21 in their last seven games, and have only won four of their 17 fixtures in the first half of the 2019-20 campaign.
Montella replaced Stefano Pioli in April but failed to inspire improvement as Fiorentina finished last term without a league win beyond February 17.
