Cesare Prandelli's era at Fiorentina could be coming to a close after last night's Champions League elimination by Bayern Munich.

The Viola currently sit in mid-table with little prospect of qualifying for next season's competition.

Prandelli is yet to sit down with Fiorentina management about a new contract and Turin sources insist the former Juve star could make a return to the Bianconeri in the summer.

The Viola coach is also a potential replacement for Italy coach Marcello Lippi after the World Cup.

The Della Valle family will meet today to review last night's result and are expected to discuss Prandelli's situation. Cagliari coach Massimilano Allegri is regarded highly by the club's patrons.
