Vincenzo Montella is delighted to have returned to Fiorentina.
Montella has been unveiled as new Fiorentina coach after Stefano Pioli's resignation.
“The Della Valle family and director Pantaleo Corvino convinced me. It was a different Fiorentina back then, at the end of a fairly stormy era," said Montella in his Press conference.
“We cleared the air like fair and honest people, but we'll see on the field what we manage to achieve. If we remain united, we'll achieve more. The fans are disappointed because they feel more could've been done. There is less enthusiasm and it has to be recreated.
“We resume with players who are eager to be decisive and not dwell on the past, who look forward with strength and conviction. I also tell the fans, if we manage to get going quickly, this can still be an historic season."
Montella continued: “I accepted because I love this profession and it's not true that I had no alternatives. I had many proposals, including ones from Italy, but they weren't convincing. I came to Fiorentina because I ended up talking to (director Pantaleo) Corvino about football for three hours and it's that passion I admire.
“I have changed too, as I have a few more grey hairs. Experiences improved me, including the negative ones. I am crazy about this work and seeing players who can improve. Once Fiorentina called, we didn't even talk about figures."
