Sinisa Mihajlovic insists he intends to stay with Fiorentina.

He had been expected to join the Inter Milan as a replacement for Leonardo, but released a statement on the official Viola website.

"Last season ACF Fiorentina chose me and I chose Fiorentina, despite having other work offers," wrote Mihajlovic.

"I am happy with the decision I made, which allowed me and will allow me to work with a club made up of professional and competent people.

"I hope to continue my profession at Fiorentina for many more years."
