Managerial historyFiorentina have had many managers and head coaches throughout their history, below is a chronological list of them from when they were founded in 1926 by a merger, until the present day.[8]
Social identityBadge
The official emblem of the city of Florence; a red and white fleur-de-lis; has played a pivotal role in the all round symbolism of the club. Over the course of the club's history they have had several badge changes, all of which incorporated Florence's fleur-de-lis in some way.[9] The first one was nothing more than the city's coat of arms, that is a white shield with the red fleur-de-lis inside. It was soon changed for a very stylized fleur-de-lis, always red, sometimes even without a white field. The most common symbol, adopted for about twenty years, had been a white lozenge with the flower inside. Only during the season they were Italian champions, the lozenge disappeared and the flower was overlapped with the scudetto. A particularly noted logo, was one which was half made up of the city of Florence's emblem and half made up of an "F" standing for Fiorentina. When introduced by the new owner Flavio Pontello, people disliked it believing it was an advertising commercial decision and, most of all, the symbol bore more of a resemblance to an alabard rather than a fleur-de-lis.[9] Today's logo is a gold bordered lozenge with a purple background, and the letters "AC" in white and the letter "F" in red, standing for the club's name. In the upper half, there is another gold bordered lozenge inside it, this time with a white background and the red fleur-de-lis of Florence.[9] This had been in use from 1992 to 2002, but after the financial crisis of the old society the new one couldn't use the same logo. Florence's comune, then, granted them the stylized coat of arms of the city used in other documents. Diego Della Valle acquired the logo the next year in a judicial auction for a fee of €2.5 million, thus making it the most expensive logo in Italian football. Kit and coloursOriginally when Fiorentina was founded in 1926, the red and white halves shirts were derived from the colour of the city emblem.[10] The more well known and highly distinctive purple kit was adopted in 1928 and has been theirs ever since; giving them the nickname La viola ("The Purple (team)"). Traditionally it is said that the purple kit became Fiorentina's by mistake, after an accident washing the old red and white coloured kits in the river.[11] The away kit has always been white, sometimes with purple and red elements: actually is all-white. The shorts had been purple when the home kit was with white shorts. While the away is traditionally white, Fiorentina had some third shirts. The first one was presented in 95-96 season and it was all-red with purple borders and two lilys on the shoulders. The red shirt has been the most worn 3rd shirt by Fiorentina, although they wore also rare yellow shirts ('97-98 and '99-00) and a sterling version, most of all in Coppa Italia, in 2000-01.
