Ex-Man City defender Richards explains choosing Fiorentina

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has explained his move to Fiorentina.

Richards is the second England international to join Serie A this summer after Ashley Cole went to Roma.

"I had options between the Premier League and Serie A, but I chose Fiorentina because this was the most interesting project and the fans are fantastic," Richards told Sky Sport Italia.

"The directors convinced me, there are great players and I spoke about it to Savic, who I knew from City.

"I am really getting into Italian football. I feel right at home already."
