Beppe Iachini is adamant he can turn results around at Fiorentina.

Iachini was named new Viola coach after the sacking of Vincenzo Montella.

"I met with President Rocco Commisso, who said he could see himself in me. I thank him and all the directors, while I also salute Montella, wishing him all the best for the future," said Iachini in his presentation press conference.

“I am very happy to have returned to my second home, as I have many wonderful memories of my time here as a player. I came back to repay that fond rapport that remained over the years, even when I was an opponent.

“I want to transmit all my passion to the players, so we'll have an organised team, but above all one with the spirit that'll allow us to honour the Fiorentina jersey in every arena. It's a tougher situation than anyone anticipated, but we're ready to roll our sleeves up and turn this around.

“I know that I bring grit, but also organisation and the right mentality. We'll try to understand why this side is having so many problems. I don't know have a magic wand, but I get the idea they struggled with the pressure."
