Montella replaces Pioli at Fiorentina

Vincenzo Montella has been appointed Fiorentina head coach for the second time after Stefano Pioli's resignation on Tuesday.

Pioli said he felt he had been forced to leave due to a lack of faith from the club's management

"I have always assumed my responsibilities; I have always ensured my professionalism, respect and maximum commitment," Pioli told ANSA.

"I reluctantly see myself forced to leave because my professional and, more importantly, human qualities have been questioned."

Fiortentina have moved quickly to replace Pioli, bringing in Montella on a deal until June 2021.
