Parma boss Francesco Guidolin has played down his influence in their stunning form.

The Gialloblu beat Fiorentina 3-2 at the Artemio Franchi on Saturday and currently lie fourth in Serie A.

Speaking to Radio Anch'io Sport, Guidolin said: "This is not a Guidolin miracle. It's just the will to emerge with an ambitious club, a young and committed President and an expert sporting director, as well as my work with the lads.

"We don't want to be branded as a revolutionary squad, but a team that knows how to play good football. We have changed a lot compared with last season.

"We have a great squad too. Parma already know what big European football is all about. 10 years ago they were one of the strongest teams in Europe.

"We have a project here and I want to stay for the long term."
