Alberto Gilardino is delighted with his return to Fiorentina.
The striker has signed for Fiorentina from Guangzhou Evergrande.
"Three years ago changing was the right choice because a cycle had come to an end for me and for other players as well," Gilardino said.
"I'm coming back with great enthusiasm and determination, and I look to face this adventure as though this were my first day.
"As a club I've seen some great changes in Fiorentina, in terms of how the club is managed and in their sports centre.
"The 'little pitches' are innovative and first-class. A young and a mature player alike can expect to improve himself and play at the highest levels here.
"Every experience makes a man more mature. I still feel very young and physically in a great shape. I've seen Fiorentina over these four months, they play some great football.
"I was enthusiastic about coming back here for the passion and the beautiful football that you can find."
