Florence, 1 July 2023 – Technical change at the helm of Fiorentina Women: the Argentine arrives in place of Patrizia Panico who coached the team for two seasons Sebastian De La Fuente, born in '76, fresh from his two-year adventure on the bench of Como Women with which he achieved promotion to Serie A and then salvation several days early.

De La Fuente has signed with Fiorentina a contract until June 2024. «I accept a great challenge in a very important place, where women's football was the first to believe - he declared to the club's channels - I want to get involved and do well: we have a good team and the necessary structures to succeed. Being here, as I told the club, is being part of something historic because there is no similar sports center in Italy - he said referring to Viola Park which in addition to the men's Fiorentina will also host the women's and youth teams in the coming weeks - When you have these structures and a society that believes in them, we have an obligation to do well."
