Team Context

With this result, the team is preparing for the Champions League and will have to manage the double challenge of Serie A and Coppa C1. Fiorentina, on the other hand, finished 15th with 8 points above the relegation zone, thanks to a late recovery. The club appointed Fabio Grosso, former 2006 World Champion, who began his tenure with a 4-1 win over Benevento in the Italian Cup.
