Fiorentina are in advanced talks with Maurizio Sarri about succeeding Cesare Prandelli.

The former Chelsea and Napoli coach has been out of work since being sacked by Juventus at the end of last season.

TMW says negotiations are centred on Sarri taking charge for next season, with Prandelli to fulfil his current deal to June.

Fiorentina are willing to offer Sarri a three-year contract to move to Florence.

Negotiations are to continue between the two parties through March.
