ACF Fiorentina are making a strong impression in the 2015 2016 season. In addition to leading the way in the Italian Serie A after 12 weeks of competition, the Lilies seem like safe bets to progress to the knockout stage in the 2015 2016 UEFA Europa League. Fiorentina have been heading in this direction for awhile now: last season, they reached the semifinals of the Europa League (ultimately losing to eventual champions Sevilla) and fourth place in the Serie A. Could this be the year where the Lilies finally return to the top of the Serie A, or clinch their first-ever Europa League title?
At Soccer Box, we think that, when all is said and done, the 2015 2016 season could easily go down in history as Fiorentina's finest. With that thought in mind, we are now carrying the Fiorentina football shirts 2015/16, from new kit manufacturer Le Coq Sportif.Order your Fiorentina Shirts
A New Kit Design
Fiorentina made a lot of changes ahead of the 2015 2016 season. Perhaps most notably, the Lilies - - November 12, 2015
Serie A 2015/16 week 12 saw Fiorentina maintaining their top slot, Inter Milan retaining a strong second-place position, and Juventus continuing their climb up the table, among other things. All of the "major contenders" in Italy won their matches this past weekend, ratcheting up the competitive tension at the top of the table even further. Now, with a break this coming weekend for Euro 2016 play, each of these clubs will have a chance to take a deep breath and reassess their plan of attack for the remainder of the calendar year.
Fiorentina continue to impress in the 2015/16 Serie A. Though they've lost three of their 12 games so far, the Lilies have also won nine-more than any other soccer team in the league. The football club's win this past weekend-a 2-0 away game triumph against Sampdoria-kicked their goal difference up to +15 and served as insurance to protect their leading position.
Fiorentina vs. Internazionale
The Lilies, it turns out, would need that insurance. - - October 29, 2015
The downfall of Juventus has created something of a vacuum at the top of the 2015 2016 Serie A league standings table-a vacuum both Fiorentina and AS Roma are out to fill. The two high-ranking Italian football clubs met for the first time this season on Sunday, October 25th. And while Fiorentina came into the match as the Serie A point leaders, it was AS Roma that left the fixture with that distinction. It seems that the battle for the Serie A top spot 2015/16 is set to be one of the highlights of this season's football action.
The Season So Far
Roma and Fiorentina-along with Napoli, Internazionale, and Lazio, all of which are in the Serie A's closely-ranked top five-have played strong football this season. The Wolves have been chasing an Italian top-flight title closely for several years now, having finished as runners-up to Juventus in both 2014 and 2015. They haven't won the Serie A since 2001, but they've finished second eight times in the years since. - - October 22, 2015
During the 2014 2015 Serie A season, as they collected a fourth consecutive league title, Juventus won 26 games, drew nine, and only lost three. This season, during the first eight weeks of Serie A 2015 - 2016 competition, Juve have already tallied three losses and have only collected three wins. The poor record has put the Zebras all the way back at 14th place in the Italian league standings, a far cry from the leading position they were expected to once again occupy all season.
Whether or not Juventus have any chance at rallying and getting back to the winner's circle this season depends on who you ask. Undoubtedly, though, the collapse of Italian football's most recent dynasty has created some interesting narratives in the 2015 2016 Serie A.Fiorentina: Finally Title Hopefuls?
The most interesting of those narratives surrounds Fiorentina, who are currently leading the way in the 2015 2016 Serie A with a point total of 18. Fiorentina notched an impressive fourth place - - June 17, 2015
Based on statistics alone, Vincenzo Montella was a very good manager for ACF Fiorentina, so why did Fiorentina sack Vincenzo Montella? In 2011 2012, the year before Montella took over the head coach job, Fiorentina finished in 13th place on the Serie A standings table. A year later, they had jumped to fourth place-a position they would replicate in 2014 and 2015, as well. From the outside looking in, Montella has taken a middle-of-the-road team and turned them into Europa League and Coppa Italia contenders. With another year or two at the helm, Montella might have even been able to forge the Lilies into a squad with a shot at the league title.
Unfortunately for fans in the Fiorentina football jersey, Vincenzo Montella won't get another year or two. Despite his success with the football club, Montella has been officially sacked from the manager position at ACF Fiorentina.
Reasons for the Sacking
So why was Vincenzo relieved of his duties as head coach? According to Fiorentina officials, - - June 14, 2015
With both AC and Inter Milan struggling to reach former levels of glory, there have been opportunities for other Italian football teams to take up residence near the top of the Italian Serie A. Juventus are still ruling the roost, of course, while neither AS Roma nor Napoli have lost so much as a step over the past
few years. But other teams, like Lazio and ACF Fiorentina, are looking better and better with each year, and could potentially turn into major Serie A contenders in 2015 2016. We assess the ACF Fiorentina 2014 - 2015 campaign with a view to further improvement next season.
Indeed, Fiorentina have become one of Italy's more dependable soccer squads over the past few years. This season, fans in the Fiorentina football shirt 2014 2015 had plenty to be happy about, as their club finished fifth in the Serie A, made it to the semifinals of both the UEFA Europa League and the Coppa Italia, and secured a spot in the group stage of the 2015 2016 Europa League.

Who will reach the finals for the 2014 2015 UEFA Europa League? Will La Liga veterans Sevilla take the honor, or will it be Italian club Fiorentina? If the first Sevilla V Fiorentina Europa League semifinal
match offers any indication, then Spain will have a presence at the upcoming UEL championship match, scheduled for May 27th. The Red and Whites bested Fiorentina's Lilies 3-0, with a strong performance from midfielder Aleix Vidal paving the way for the victory.
Not that anything is decided just yet. The Lilies will get a chance for payback on May 14th, when they don the Fiorentina home shirt 2014 2015 for the second semifinal leg. They'll have the home field advantage on their side as they try to earn a spot in their first Europa League final since 1990. However, they will also have their work cut out for them, as making up a three-point deficit in the aggregate will surely be no easy task.
Sevilla's UEL Legacy
Fiorentina will also be facing off against a Sevilla squad that, after - - April 21, 2015ACF Fiorentina narrowly dodged a loss in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals on Thursday afternoon, scoring a goal in the closing moments of the match to force a 1-1 draw. Their opponents, Ukraine's Dynamo Kyiv, had the home field advantage in the fixture, but the Lilies managed to keep the aggregate tied up at 1-1. The two teams will meet once more on Thursday, April 23rd. In the

The season in question, 2011 2012, brought a record of 11 wins, 13 draws, and 14 losses for the squad. It wasn't a bad performance, but it was a lukewarm one, and coming after two similar seasons, it
