The countdown is on. With just two weekends left in the 2025-26 Serie A season, every match carries the weight of a final. For Luciano Spalletti and Juventus, this weekend is a massive one. The Bianconeri are staring down two fixtures against teams that consider them a giant rival, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Champions League qualification is still hanging in the balance, and the last thing anyone wants is a late-season collapse.

Sunday brings an early lunchtime kickoff at the Allianz Stadium, as Fiorentina rolls into Turin for Juventus' final home game of the season. For La Viola, the threat of relegation that loomed over the Franchi for months is finally gone. They're safe. But that doesn't mean this trip is just a casual visit. For the home side, it's about finishing strong in front of their own fans.

And because no Fiorentina preview would be complete without him, we brought back our good buddy Tito from Viola Nation. It hasn't been an easy season for the man who runs the show over there. But despite the struggles, he was kind enough to sit down with us and break down what went wrong over the last nine months. Let's just say it's been one of the toughest campaigns Fiorentina has seen in a long time.

Here's our chat with Tito, a true gentleman and one of the best in the SB Nation family.

Danny P. (DP): Tito, Tito, Tito… It's that time again. You're back at your second-favorite SB Nation blog to chat with us. Exciting, right? I'm guessing it's almost as exciting as watching this Fiorentina season finally come to an end. So, if you had to compare this season to something—something I'd understand without all the calcio jargon—what would it be? Pretend I'm a dummy for a minute.

Tito K. (TK): Well, Danny, I know you're a cat guy. Some might even say a cat daddy. I wouldn't go that far, but the rumors are out there. Imagine you own a cat that, for the past nine months, has been… let's just say, less than cooperative. That's this season. It's been a long, frustrating, and confusing ride. But hey, at least the cat is safe now. No relegation. That's something.
