Axed Watford manager Walter Mazzarri could be offered a quick route back into football by Fiorentina this summer.
The Serie A club are expected to part company with Paulo Sousa at the end of the season and had been linked with a move for Stefano Pioli.
However, reports in Italy have suggested that they have a three-man list of other options should they fail to appoint the former Inter boss.
And one of the names on it is Mazzarri, who steered Watford clear of relegation this season in his one and only season in charge.
