Fiorentina take action after 2-1 Hellas Verona loss: Media blackout and training camp

Fiorentina have taken action after Sunday’s disappointing 2-1 loss at home against Hellas Verona in Serie A, which marked their 15th league match without a win. 

La Viola remain rooted to the bottom of the table after a Gift Orban brace condemned them to their ninth league defeat of the season. 

You can see how the action unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.

Fiorentina are stuck in 20th place in the Serie A table. They have drawn six and lost nine so far in the league this season. This is only the third time ever that they have gone 15 matches without a win in one season, the previous instances occurring in the 1970-71 and 1937-38 seasons. 

In response to their loss on Sunday afternoon, no Fiorentina coaches, players nor officials spoke to the media. 

According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, the Fiorentina management have decided to send the squad for an ‘indefinite’ training camp ahead of their Conference League match against Lausanne on Thursday. 

It remains to be seen what Sunday’s loss means for the future of head coach Paolo Vanoli, who was only appointed to replace Stefano Pioli at the beginning of November, but has not overseen any improvement in form since then. Violanews.com suggests that the picture will be clearer on Monday.
