Beppe Iachini has been named new coach of Fiorentina.

Iachini steps in to replace the sacked Vincenzo Montella.

“I would like to thank Vincenzo Montella for the commitment and professionalism he showed during his time at the club," owner Rocco Commisso told the club's official website.

“Unfortunately, our current league position forced us to make a change.

“We chose Iachini because he is a great person and has strong ties with Florence and Fiorentina. Now we all need to work together to get back on track as quickly as possible."
