For all intents and purposes, our beloved Biancorossi will be spending next season in Serie B. It’s not yet mathematically assured, but morale-wise, it certainly is. Even the new coach Mutti had zero faith, after his first game on the bench (and first loss) he conceded “We’re already relegated, now all that is left is to honor the shirt.” It brings up dozens of questions of why on earth he took the job aside from another sporadic paycheck, but an admission that there is nothing left to do.

While many this summer expected Bari to be smack in mid-table, the same cannot be said for Fiorentina. After a disappointing season, and one which they lost Cesare Prandelli to the Nazionale, there was a lot of optimism in Firenze. They signed an ambitious young coach, Mihajlovic, who had done wonders with Catania last season. Without the fixture congestion brought about from playing in UEFA competitions, the aim was to get back into Europe. Instead, after 7 days of Serie A, Fiorentina find themselves propping up Serie A, rock bottom with a miserable 5 points from 7 games. It is curious that two of the best performing managers last year find themselves facing the sack. Read the rest of this entry »
