Fiorentina coach Giuseppe Iachini confirms he has no regrets about his time at the Artemio Franchi and is convinced the club can keep hold of Dusan Vlahovic.

The 21-year-old has been linked with Roma and Milan, what has the future in store for him, according to Iachini?

“This club has the potential to keep hold of him and other players. A lot will depend on who the next coach will be. I can’t be the one who says what’s going to happen, I wish those who stay will want to fight for the Viola shirt,” Iachini said at a press conference.

The game against Crotone will be his last one as La Viola coach.

"My time at Fiorentina has been unforgettable. These two seasons with COVID have been unique. I am happy to have honoured the shirt, this will stay in my heart forever,” he said.

“I will forever be a Fiorentina fan. I am happy to reach the 200 matches mark as a coach in Serie A. Being a coach depends on results, and criticism often on small details that can turn the course of events of a single game. Consistency is important, and we know we've done what we needed to do.

"We want to do well until the very end. I want to see a team that is focused, organised, on point, to get the maximum. This needs to be the mentality of any Fiorentina player. We went up the table, point after point, and we want to finish on a high.

"Crotone are a good side, they are organised, have some quality players, they have one of the best strikers in the league in Simy. Cosmi has done well and they managed some good results," the coach continued.

"I would like all players to play, and will try to give space to everyone. For their team spirit, every single player deserves to have playing time. Pezzella is banned, Milenkovic will undergo a small operation, so we'll change something at the back, that's for sure.

“I have great relationship with President Rocco Commisso, he likes people who work hard.”

Does Iachini have any regret about his time at Fiorentina?

“There is nothing I would not do again. I have no regrets about Callejon, for example. When I returned things had changed. I couldn’t continue the path we had begun. He tested positive for COVID after he arrived and when I returned there were other problems.”
