Sassuolo coach Alessio Dionisi was satisfied with their 2-2 draw against Sampdoria.

Dionisi also commented on his own future with his contract due to expire.

He said, "The championship has been positive regardless, our forwards have missed many games, especially (Domenico) Berardi who is our top player. The second round was excellent, unfortunately we won't be able to set the points record.

"If we managed to score 31, it would be in any case, an extraordinary result. Now we have to give continuity by playing against a strong team like Fiorentina."

Of his own future, Dionisi said: "We are talking to the club, when we know of news they will be communicated. It is normal that you have to plan well to be ambitious, we are certainly on the right track.

"I am aware of this club's mission which is first of all to focus on safety and then to enhance the players through play. It is impossible to retain certain elements, my hope is that whoever arrives is more ready because when there is no time, the risk is to burn them."
