MILAN (AP) — Fiorentina hopes a new coach also brings it luck this weekend after becoming the third Serie A team in just over a week to make a managerial change.

When Patrick Vieira was fired last week, new coach Roberto Murgita steered Genoa to its first win of the season on Monday.

Two days after his appointment, Luciano Spalletti led Juventus to a 2-1 win over Cremonese last weekend.

Fiorentina fired Stefano Pioli on Tuesday with the Viola winless through 10 rounds and at the bottom of Serie A. Former Roma captain and coach Daniele De Rossi was appointed on Thursday but he’s suspended from Sunday’s game because he was sent off in his last match in charge of Roma a year ago.

Instead, interim coach Daniele Galloppa will manage Fiorentina at Genoa.
