Daniele De Rossi could begin his coaching career by taking on the Fiorentina job, claims Sky Sport Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio.
The World Cup winner has already said he plans to go into management, following in the footsteps of his father Alberto, who has been the coach of the Roma youth team for many years.
De Rossi only retired in January after experiences at Roma and Boca Juniors, and will turn 37 later this month.
