“Why do reporters keep asking me about Rudi Garcia’s future?” Baldissoni told Mediaset Premium.

“The team is in second place, one point off the leaders, has the best attack and despite the recent disappointing draw still has every chance of progressing in the Champions League.

“We accept criticism, but things are getting a little out of hand.”

Salah faces his former club, who are suing him for breach of contract. How will he handle the fiery atmosphere?

“He is a professional and is here to play a game. Our rapport with Fiorentina is one of such respect that I won’t comment. I prefer not to say anything on this matter out of respect for Fiorentina.”
