Fiorentina to sack Montella?

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Vincenzo Montella will be fired as Fiorentina coach after a home defeat to Lecce, with Gennaro Gattuso the favourite.

The Viola have struggled this season, but after a brief run of positive results, went back to a series of setbacks.

They have one point from the last four games, including three consecutive defeats, two of them against newly-promoted clubs Hellas Verona and Lecce.

According to Sky Sport Italia, time is up for Montella, who could be dismissed this weekend.

President Rocco Commisso was in the stands of the Stadio Franchi for tonight’s defeat to Lecce and could make a decision relatively quickly.

He saw the atmosphere in Florence, with fans jeering the team off the field at the final whistle.

It’s believed the favourite to take over would be ex-Milan boss Gattuso.
