''' | '''Associazione Calcio Firenze Fiorentina''',<ref name="fiorentina_society" /><ref name="fiorentina_society_legacalcio" /> commonly referred to as '''Fiorentina''' ({{IPA|it|fjorenˈtiːna|pron}}), is an Italian professional [[Association football|football]] [[List of football clubs in Italy|club]] based in [[Florence]], [[Tuscany]]. The original team was founded by a merger in August 1926, while the current club was refounded in August 2002 following bankruptcy. Fiorentina have played at the top level of Italian football for the majority of their existence; only four clubs have played in more [[Serie A]] seasons. | ||
Fiorentina has won two [[List of Italian football champions|Italian league titles]], in [[1955–56 Serie A|1955–56]] and again in [[1968–69 Serie A|1968–69]], as well as six [[Coppa Italia]] trophies and one [[Supercoppa Italiana]]. On the [[UEFA competitions|European stage]], Fiorentina won the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] in [[1960–61 European Cup Winners' Cup|1960–61]]. They also lost five finals, finishing runners-up in the [[1956–57 European Cup]] (the first Italian team to reach the final in the top continental competition), the [[1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup|1961–62 Cup Winners' Cup]], the [[1989–90 UEFA Cup]], and in the [[2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League|2022–23]] and [[2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League|2023–24]] editions of the [[UEFA Conference League]], being the first club to record two consecutive final appearances and two consecutive defeats in the competition's history. | Fiorentina has won two [[List of Italian football champions|Italian league titles]], in [[1955–56 Serie A|1955–56]] and again in [[1968–69 Serie A|1968–69]], as well as six [[Coppa Italia]] trophies and one [[Supercoppa Italiana]].

In their first season back in Serie A, the club struggled to avoid relegation, only securing survival on the last day of the season on head-to-head record against [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]] and [[Parma F.C.|Parma]]. In 2005, Della Valle decided to appoint [[Pantaleo Corvino]] as new sports director, followed by the appointment of [[Cesare Prandelli]] as head coach in [[2005–06 Serie A|the following season]]. The club made several signings during the summer transfer market, most notably [[Luca Toni]] and [[Sébastien Frey]]. This drastic move earned them a fourth-place finish with 74 points and a Champions League qualifying round ticket. Toni scored 31 goals in 38 appearances, the first player to pass the 30-goal mark since [[Antonio Valentin Angelillo]] in the [[1958–59 Serie A|1958–59 season]], for which he was awarded the [[European Golden Boot]]. On 14 July 2006, Fiorentina were relegated to Serie B due to their involvement in the ''[[Calciopoli]]'' scandal and given a 12-point penalty. The team was reinstated to the Serie A on appeal, but with a 19-point penalty for the [[2006–07 Serie A|2006–07 season]]. The team's [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07 Champions League]] place was also revoked.<ref>{{cite news |url= | In their first season back in Serie A, the club struggled to avoid relegation, only securing survival on the last day of the season on head-to-head record against [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]] and [[Parma F.C.|Parma]].

Despite Toni's departure to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], Fiorentina had a strong start to the [[2007–08 Serie A|2007–08 season]] and were tipped by [[Italy national football team|Italy national team]] head coach [[Marcello Lippi]], among others, as a surprise challenger for the ''[[Serie A|scudetto]]'',<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=472919|publisher=Goal.com|title=Lippi Tips Fiorentina For Surprise Scudetto Challenge|date=11 November 2007|access-date=7 November 2007|archive-date=10 November 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071110094637/http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=472919|url-status=live}}</ref> and although this form tailed off towards the middle of the season, the ''Viola'' managed to qualify for the Champions League.

In June 2010, the ''Viola'' bid farewell to long-time manager Cesare Prandelli, by then the longest-serving coach in the team's history, who was departing to coach the Italy national team.

To engineer a resurrection of the club after the disappointing season, the Della Valle family invested heavily in the middle of 2012, buying 17 new players and appointing [[Vincenzo Montella]] as head coach. The team began the season well, finishing the calendar year in joint third place and eventually finishing the [[2012–13 Serie A|2012–13 season]] in fourth, enough for a position in the [[2013–14 UEFA Europa League|2013–14 Europa League]]. | To engineer a resurrection of the club after the disappointing season, the Della Valle family invested heavily in the middle of 2012, buying 17 new players and appointing [[Vincenzo Montella]] as head coach.

The club lost fan favourite [[Stevan Jovetić]] during the middle of 2013, selling him to English Premier League club [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] for a €30 million transfer fee. They also sold Adem Ljajić to Roma and [[Alessio Cerci]] to Torino, using the funds to bring in [[Mario Gómez]], [[Josip Iličić]] and [[Ante Rebić]], among others.
