"Montella has signed a two-year contract with an optional third."

Montella, 38, parted company with Catania earlier this month after guiding the Sicilian outfit to an 11th-placed finish in Serie A in his first season in charge.
The former Roma boss had one year left on his contract with Catania but was granted an early release from his role.
Fiorentina ended the season two places and two points behind Catania.
