It seems that coach Stefano Pioli is on the verge of returning to the Italian league after a period spent in Saudi Arabia, specifically with Al Nassr.

According to journalist Nicola Schira, Pioli is very close to taking the managerial position at Fiorentina starting from next July, amid a clear direction towards rebuilding the team.

Schira mentioned that the veteran coach's agents are currently working to finalize all the details of his contract termination with Al Nassr, so that the deal can be made official in the coming days.

The same sources indicated that Pioli will receive an annual salary of 3 million euros in his new experience with "La Viola", reflecting the management's belief in his extensive experience in Serie A.

This move comes from Fiorentina's management following the end of Vincenzo Italiano's tenure with the team, in a clear desire to open a new chapter under a more mature and ambitious coaching leadership in local and continental competitions.
