Adrian Mutu has thanked Fiorentina fans for their welcome yesterday.

Mutu made his return to the field as a substitute in yesterday's 1-1 draw with Parma.

"I am fairly good and settled into the game straight away. It was a difficult match, but we have time to improve," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I am grateful to the fans, as they are just wonderful. I hugged Alberto Gilardino, because I wanted to take him over to salute the supporters.

"My rapport with Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is strong."
