The Viola finally ended their miserable start to the Serie A season on Friday, with Paolo Vanoli making an immediate impact after returning to the dugout.
Recalled after Fabio Grosso was dismissed just four games into his reign, Vanoli began his second spell with an entertaining 4-2 victory away to Venezia.
Franco Mastantuono scored a hat-trick at Stadio Penzo as Fiorentina finally opened their league account and gained their first three points.
It was a welcome turnaround following a disastrous opening of three losses under Grosso, who had only been appointed during the summer after Vanoli's contract was not renewed.
With Vanoli now back at the helm, Fiorentina can build confidence by following up their first Serie A win with another victory in the cup.
Pisa's wider fortunes have also been difficult after finally returning to Serie A in 2025, but they lasted just one season in the top flight before suffering relegation.
Their final months before being relegated were particularly poor, as they lost each of their last nine league matches.
Paolo Bianco is now tasked with guiding Pisa back towards Serie A after leading Monza to promotion through the Serie B playoffs last season.
However, his new project has endured an uneven beginning, with Friday's 4-1 defeat to Virtus Entella halting their progress after back-to-back wins.
That result leaves Pisa needing a significant improvement if they are to eliminate Fiorentina and keep their cup ambitions alive.
