Cesare Prandelli has declared - through the club - that he is staying with Fiorentina.

The Viola coach had cast doubt on his future last week, but on the day that president Diego Della Valle was stepping down, Prandelli has confirmed he will be staying.

Yesterday afternoon the official Fiorentina website released this brief statement.

"Cesare Prandelli announces his intention to remain in Florence without doubts or confusion, respecting the contract that ties him to the Viola club."
