Adrian Mutu hopes a split from his agent will lead to a way back at Fiorentina.

Mutu and his long time agent Victor Becali parted ways this week over complaints from Fiorentina.

"When I said I owed Fiorentina, I meant it and I still do," said the striker last night.

"I want to stay here and I want to give Fiorentina a hand so that I can return to the playing field.

"I am not here to cry, but to as always take responsibility and not hide from my actions after a difficult period.

"I am sorry for this situation. I was wrong; I made a mistake walking out on my team, the Coach and the club before the game with Bologna.

"The fact is I was poorly advised by my former agent."
