Torino FC v ACF Fiorentina - Serie A
Vincenzo Montella made a name for himself as Fiorentina manager

Vincenzo Montella has just been sacked by AC Milan. Things really do change quickly in football.

With the Italian Super Cup win last December, Montella brought the club its first trophy since 2011. Last season, he led Milan back into the TOP 6 in the league for the first time in four years and brought back European football for the sleeping giant.

This season also started well, with four wins in first five league fixtures, but things soon went south and the former striker now finds himself unemployed after some impatience shown by the club.

But Milan's loss should be another clubs gain. 43-year-old Montella is still a young manager, but he already has some great experience. He worked at four different clubs before getting hired by Milan.

Before Montella's arrival in the summer of 2012, Fiorentina was a bottom half side in Serie A. He brought Viola three consecutive 4th-place finishes, and almost led the side to the Champions League in his debut season, missing out on a TOP 3 finish by only a couple of points.

Getting fired is never nice, but Montella should find himself back in the saddle soon enough and the Super Cup success in 2016 surely won't be his only major win as manager. Fiorentina is probably already regretting his sacking in the summer of 2015, as they just haven't been the same side ever since.
