6 Times Coppa Italia Winner Facing Relegation in Serie A

The famous Florence-based club Fiorentina, which have won 2 Italian Serie A titles and 6 Coppa Italia titles, sits at 19th position with 4 points, that too came from 4 draws. They are yet to win a single match in the 2025/26 Serie A campaign and have a goal difference of -9. Losses like the 2-1 home defeat to Roma have left them in the relegation zone with teams like Hellas Verona and Genoa.

Manager Stefano Pioli recent performances have left fans deeply concerned about the team’s direction and future, with current results, Fiorentina relegation seems inevitable. If results don’t improve in the upcoming fixtures, the management may consider sacking the current manager to ensure the club’s survival in the top flight.

Fiorentina's Form This Season

It will be an injustice if we consider Viola's Serie A form only as they are doing good in the European Competition UEFA Conference League, where they have won 2/2 games and sit at the top with a goal difference of +5. The problem lies in the domestic league, where they have 7 goals and have conceded double. Here's how they have performed so far.

While it is visible from the above table that the team has performed decently, but has lost many matches by the barest of margins, except for 2-3 games. From our perspective, it looks like the problem lies up top as the forwards are not able to convert on the chances, also the defense seems to lose its strength as the clock nears the 90th-minute mark, giving chances to opponents to score last-minute equalizers and winners.

Fiorentina Relegation History

Fiorentina relegation history shows how the team has come out of demotion strongly, having won multiple league titles and domestic cups like the Coppa Italia. They have also faced Serie A relegation in their history. They won Serie A in 1969 but fell to Serie B in 1938 amid money woes. The 1993 drop hurt too, but 2002 was the darkest: bankruptcy after finishing last forced a restart in Italy's fourth tier. A scandal which exposed in 2006 penalized them with points, leading to another demotion. Yet, they bounced back, staying in Serie A since 2009.

With almost 28 matches in hand, it will be too early to say that they are going to Serie B, but the warning signs must be considered soon before it's too late for the 2 times Serie A champions.

Fiorentina Upcoming Matches

Here is how the upcoming matches of Viola look, amidst the Italian side facing a Serie A relegation struggle.

The next two matches are going to be easy ones, as they have a good form in the UEFA Conference League and will face 20th-place Genoa away. The real test will begin after that when they face teams like Juventus, Athens, and Atalanta. These matches are not just important for Fiorentina, as they will tell whether the team will remain among Serie A relegation teams, but also for manager Stefano Pioli, as his future will be decided based on the results in these games.
