De Gea's team in danger

De Gea could not save Fiorentina.

On November 2, right at home, Fiorentina lost 0-1 to Lecce, thereby extending their disastrous streak since the beginning of the season: 0 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. With only 4 points after 10 rounds, "La Viola" is currently ranked 19/20, just above the bottom team Genoa (3 points).

Even if Genoa wins this late match, Fiorentina will be at the bottom of the table after round 10. This is an unbelievable result for a team that often competes for European Cup tickets in Serie A like Fiorentina.

Pressure is mounting on the board, especially coach Stefano Pioli, who signed a contract with Fiorentina at the beginning of the season. Fiorentina committed to paying Pioli a salary of 3.8 million euros per season, in a three-year contract, until the end of June 2028.

If Pioli is fired immediately, the club will have to pay a huge compensation, which could reach tens of millions of euros. This is a headache for Fiorentina, explaining why the club has not fired the Italian coach despite the team's disastrous performance.

However, with the risk of relegation increasingly evident, the Fiorentina leadership is having to consider drastic measures. And if Fiorentina fires him now, coach Stefano Pioli could receive nearly 10 million euros in compensation.

At that time, he will become one of the coaches who received the highest compensation for being fired in Europe in the past three years, surpassing Ten Hag or Mourinho. In the last two times he left the hot seat at AC Milan, Al Nassr, he pocketed about 29-30 million euros in compensation.

As for David de Gea, the Spanish goalkeeper has been playing well but Fiorentina's poor defence under Pioli has put him in a difficult position. De Gea now faces the prospect of playing in Serie B if Fiorentina do not wake up soon.
