It's no secret that this season has been one of immense disappointment for Fiorentina. After having a fantastic season in Europe last season la viola were expecting much more than a mid table finish this season, but that's what looks set to be the case for them. Yes, they have been without Stefan Jovetic amd the troubled Adrian Mutu for a large portion of the season but Mihajlovic would have been expected to achieve more than he has up to this point. There season has never really got going and from the the word go they have never been in the race for major European berths, all the while they have had a relatively un-congested fixture list.
And now Dunga enters the frey. A former Fiorentina and Brazil legend Dunga was not exactly the most popular Brazilian manager to lead the selecao at a world cup with a more defensive a tactical approach to the usually free flowing style of Brazilian play. The question is however whether he would be the right fit for Fiorentina. There's no question Sinisa Mihajlovic has talent as an allenatore after his display with Catania but where there is more pressure, as there is in Florence, you have to deliver quick or face the axe.
Pressure is something Dunga is used too. Managing Brazil is without question the definition of pressure. It's either win the world cup or simply exit stage left. He ended up taking the latter option but with this in mind for Fiorentina he has the nous to manage big game players and take them up to where they belong, battling for the top European places. And with them not doing this in the season, it is hard to see Mihajlovic lasting in Florence for when the 2011-2012 season kicks off, not least because they only had Serie A to focus on this season. Time for a new approach, perhaps.
