Fiorentina coach Prandelli had no problem with Gilardino spotkick

Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has no problem with Alberto Gilardino over his spotkick in victory over Genoa.

Gilardino went against Prandelli's orders, with the coach having made Stevan Jovetic the designated penalty taker.

But the coach said: "It was nice of Jovetic to step aside for his teammate, it's good that working together over time you forge this rapport. However, he remains the designated spot-kick taker, without a shadow of doubt.

"The thing that most made me happy about Stevan recently is that he has learned to attack the penalty area a lot better and is trying to impose himself as one of the leaders of the group."
