The decision comes as no surprise, following a dismal run of nine league matches that yielded not a single victory. With only three draws to their name, the team has been anchored to the bottom of the Serie A table, a position that made Vieira's departure a matter of when, not if.

As the dust settles on this decision, the focus immediately shifts to the future. According to insider Gianluca Di Marzio, a new chapter is being scripted, with three names—De Rossi, Vanoli, and Gotti—emerging as the leading candidates to take the helm. The club is now poised to make a critical choice, one it hopes will reverse its fortunes and spark a desperately needed revival.
