Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella was delighted to deliver president Andrea Della Valle an opening day victory over Udinese.
The Viola had to come from behind to clinch the three points.
Montella said: "President Andrea Della Valle was euphoric and it was a lot of fun to see him there. We needed this victory, as it allowed us to let out all that adrenaline. However, we are at the start and must not rest on our laurels."
