Fiorentina president Commisso hails Italiano after reaching Coppa Italia final

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso was thrilled with their Coppa Italia semifinal win against Cremonese.

Thursday night's 0-0 draw at the Stadio Franchi sees Fiorentina reach the final to meet Inter Milan next month.

"We need to focus on one game at a time. I am doing nothing here, only bringing money from America. Hopefully, God will help us, I'll be here for the Conference League [semi-finals] and then we'll go to Rome," Commisso said.

“(Vincenzo) Italiano has been great, he's doing an extraordinary job and I congratulate him. I've always supported him also when he was criticised.

“We played a great game tonight, it wasn't easy The choreography was spectacular, I want to thank everyone, the coach and the guys who played. I am really happy."

When asked about his plans and dreams for Fiorentina's future, Commisso replied: “Revenues are a problem for us, we don't want to end up like Juventus. Their problems began when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo, this will never happen to Fiorentina, I don't know where we'll arrive, but surely we'll never go bankrupt."
