A Century of Fiorentina: 100 Years of Football, Florence and Purple Passion

ACF Fiorentina celebrates its centenary in 2026, marking 100 years of triumphs, legendary players and an enduring bond with Florence.

The club’s board formalised the appointment of Rocco Commisso’s son, with his widow Catherine also joining the board.

The death of the club’s president follows years marked by tragedy, including the loss of captain Davide Astori and director general Joe Barone.

He led Fiorentina since 2019, died in the United States after a long period of medical treatment.

Renovation now due to finish in 2029 as Fiorentina sink to the bottom of Serie A and Florence fears losing part of its identity.

Fiorentina has shaken up its management in an effort to reverse a disastrous start to the Serie A season.

The centenary year of ACF Fiorentina risks being marked by frustration both on and off the pitch.

With two home defeats and two points so far, the Europa Conference League could offer a crucial chance to bounce back.

The club also confirmed important news off the pitch. Striker Moise Dean has signed a revised deal with Fiorentina.

Three matches against Premier League sides brought one draw, one defeat, and a loss on penalties, but also encouraging signs.
