Vincenzo Montella is confirmed as the Fiorentina Coach after a meeting with new President Rocco Commisso.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia, FirenzeViola and multiple sources, today’s encounter in New York went well and the club will not seek a replacement.

Montella only took the job on April 10 when Stefano Pioli resigned in protest at former patrons Diego and Andrea Della Valle.

He failed to win a single game, managing only two draws and six defeats between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Eusebio Di Francesco is reportedly taking some time to decide on the Sampdoria job after a meeting with director of sport Carlo Osti.

The former Sassuolo and Roma boss sat down with Osti today to discuss the project rather than focus on financial details, according to Sky Sport Italia.

Telenord point to a contract worth €1.5m, slightly below his requested €1.8m salary, but above all concerns over the future of the club.

Marco Giampaolo is already in Milan and ready to sign the two-year contract, with option for a third, once Sampdoria release him.

Sky Sport Italia report Giampaolo has already returned to Italy after his brief vacation in Croatia.

He is expected to meet with Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero tomorrow and can then sign the contract with Milan.

It’ll be a two-year deal with option for a third, worth approximately €2m per season.

Marco Giampaolo will reportedly sign a two-year contract with Milan, who are getting a ‘great’ Coach according to Sampdoria owner Massimo Ferrero.

According to Calciomercato.com, the agreement is worth €2m a season after tax and includes the option of a third year, providing certain objectives are met.

The website adds Milan will pay compensation to release the Coach from his Samp contract and that he will be appointed early next week.

Sampdoria Vice-President Antonio Romei has confirmed that Stefano Pioli could replace Marco Giampaolo as the club’s Coach.

Giampaolo is the runaway favourite to take over at Milan, with Paolo Maldini reported to have made the 51-year-old his first choice to replace Gennaro Gattuso.

“President Massimo Ferrero and Giampaolo met, and they’ve taken some time to reflect before making a decision,” Romei told Sky Sport Italia.

Stefano Pioli has accepted the Sampdoria job, with Marco Giampaolo heading to Milan, claim multiple sources.

Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia have the same version of events, pointing to a successful meeting between Pioli and Samp representatives.

He would be back in action just weeks after he resigned from Fiorentina in protest at criticism from the club.

Eusebio Di Francesco was another candidate for Sampdoria, but is still under contract with Roma and needs to terminate that deal by mutual consent first.

What was once a season of hope ended with disappointment, as Fiorentina barely avoided relegation, writes Philippe Hitti.

Former Fiorentina and Lazio boss Stefano Pioli is reportedly Sampdoria’s first choice to replace Marco Giampaolo this summer.

According to ANSA, Samp have been made to act after Giampaolo’s comments following their 3-3 draw with Parma on Sunday, threatening to leave the club if they did not invest.

The agency claims the Blucerchiati particularly like Eusebio Di Francesco, but the ex-Roma boss will not come cheap.

Fiorentina defender Vitor Hugo is reportedly unhappy about losing his starting spot since new Coach Vincenzo Montella’s arrival and is ready to move on.

According to calcionews24.com, the 27-year-old is concerned about his lack of playing time, as he has yet to feature under Montella in the four games since the Coach replaced Stefano Pioli.

The Brazilian went from being first choice under Pioli to losing his spot to first Federico Ceccherini, then Vincent Laurini - who was moved from right-back into the centre of defence.
