Total chaos at Fiorentina » The team in “quarantine” under police escort, Dzeko remained to face the fans

The football club is going through one of the most difficult periods in its recent history and the atmosphere has reached boiling point. After another defeat, the management of the club took drastic measures that signal that the situation is alarming.

The crisis at Fiorentina

According to “Gazzetta dello Sport”, the club imposed a total media silence and sent the entire squad into a kind of quarantine at the Viola Park training facility. Players and technical staff were banned from making statements, leaving fans with no explanation.

At the center of the crisis was Edin Dzeko, the most experienced player and the leader of the locker room. As captain, he is used to enormous pressure and now has the task of trying to keep the team together in these difficult times. Immediately after the last match, the Bosnian and his teammates were escorted by the police from the stadium directly to the training camp. The fact that police assistance was required speaks volumes for the tension surrounding the club.

The presence of the police was preventive, for fear of possible incidents with disgruntled fans. Although there were no major disturbances, the anger of the supporters was evident and loud. The Franchi Stadium exploded after the defeat. The players were met with whistles, insults and offensive chants as they left the pitch as they left the playing surface with their heads bowed.

Dzeko stayed on the pitch to face the fans

According to the aforementioned source, Dzeko was one of the few who stayed on the pitch until the end to deal with the fans' protests. The look on his face said more than any words. The team will remain in isolation at Viola Park until further notice, and the quarantine is expected to continue in the coming days. On Wednesday, the team will travel to Lausanne for the last match of the Conference League group stage.

Vanoli's position in jeopardy

Coach Paolo Vanoli's position is in danger. He is under enormous pressure due to a string of poor results and increasingly vocal criticism from the public. Since his arrival, Fiorentina have recorded defeats against their direct competitors, which have pushed the team to the bottom of the Serie A table. Currently, the team occupies the last place in the table.

In particular, the latest defeat against a bottom-of-the-table team was painful, further shaking the confidence of the players. The management has not made any statements so far, but the media silence often indicates that serious discussions about the future of the club are taking place behind closed doors. The fate of the coach and some players is uncertain.
