ACF Fiorentina is a club that has been around for close to a century in Italy. Their history includes overcoming the Serie A odds to earn multiple championships in the Italian top flight. While the Fiorentina betting odds do not suggest that they are in a position to get to the top of the mountain again this season, they are well-positioned to remain a fixture in the first division of soccer in Italy.
Fiorentina General info
Fiorentina hails from the city of Florence in Tuscany. They play the home matches on the Fiorentina schedule each season at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, which is a venue that holds just over 43,000 fans and was opened all the way back in 1931. The club is a member of Serie A in Italy and has been for all but six years of its history, earning their last promotion to the top flight in 2002.
Fiorentina History
Fiorentina was founded in 1926 and first made it to Serie A in 1931. They originally struggled in their Serie A matchups, getting relegated back down in 1938. But Fiorentina made it back to Serie A in 1939 and stayed there until the 1990s.
Since rejoining Serie A in 2004, Fiorentina has only had a couple of close calls with regard to possible relegation. The first came in the 2004-05 season, where they finished 16th, and in another 16th place finish in the 2018-19 campaign. But they have finished no worse than 13th in any other season since rejoining the first division.
Fiorentina Records
Looking at the all-time Fiorentina stats, two players share the club’s all-time goal-scoring record. Kurt Hamrin and Gabriel Batistuta both have 203 career goals at Fiorentina. Meanwhile, no other player in the club’s history has tallied 100 goals as these two men stand high above the rest of the pack.
In terms of all-time appearances for the club, Giancarlo Antognoni is the record holder. He made 419 career appearances for the team during his time there from 1972-1987.
Championships won by Fiorentina
Fiorentina finished at the top of the Serie A standings twice in club history, doing so in the 1955-56 and 1968-69 seasons. They have also won Serie B three times all-time, securing promotion to Serie A on those occasions. This club has also won six Coppa Italia titles and one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup all-time.
Historical Events
In terms of club history, the 1999-2000 campaign was one of the most memorable for Fiorentina. Despite the Fiorentina stats in Serie A not being great that year, they won some matches in the Champions League that were legendary by club standards. Beating Manchester United and Arsenal in European competition that year, it was a positive year even if the season itself could have gone better.

Fiorentina’s Best Coaches
The greatest manager in the history of Fiorentina may just be Fulvio Bernardini. He managed the team in the 1950s and is responsible for their first Serie A title, along with multiple second-place finishes in the league. There may not be a period in club history where the team’s Serie A betting stats are better, as they finished no worse than fifth place during his tenure in Florence.
Giancarlo de Sisti comes in as another great coach. He coached from 1981-1984 and was forced out with a medical issue.
