Fiorentina have appointed Stefano Pioli as their new boss with the former Inter Milan manager replacing Paulo Sousa on an initial two-year contract.
Pioli was sacked by Inter in May after lasting just six months in the San Siro job but he has quickly returned to work in Serie A with Viola.
The 51-year-old is a former Fiorentina captain and made 156 appearances for the club between 1989 and 1995.

"The coach will be officially unveiled to the media at a press conference at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Wednesday," a statement on the club's website read.
Fiorentina have decided not to extend former Swansea boss Sousa's contract after a disappointing eighth-place finish in Serie A last term.
