Alberto Malesani, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, expressed his support for the new Fiorentina coach, Paolo Vanoli, and commented on the team's situation. Malesani called the current season "horror", but recognized Vanoli's abilities, stating that the coach "will recover" and that it is important to let him work without interruptions. He also asked for explanations about the fact that Vanoli was forced to start from scratch, asking why the coach had been sacked at the end of the previous season, a question that has not yet been answered.
In the paragraph dedicated to Lazio, Malesani expressed appreciation for Rino Gattuso's management. He stressed that Gattuso is "centered" and that he takes responsibility for the club's current situation. According to the former footballer, Gattuso is the true captain of Lazio and deserves to lead the team.
Malesani's comment fits into a context of uncertainty for both teams, with Fiorentina trying to get back on track under the guidance of Vanoli and Lazio relying on Gattuso to overcome a difficult phase. The next Serie A matches will be crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of the decisions made by the managers and coaches.
