The Viola blame Inter for interfering and Guerini was particularly angry at Coach Mancini.
Fiorentina team manager Vincenzo Guerini blasted “offensive” Roberto Mancini and asks Mohamed Salah “what happened?”
The winger had been due to extend his loan by another season, as per the terms of the contract signed in January, but pulled out after the €1m fee had been paid.
The Viola blame Inter for interfering and Guerini was particularly angry at Coach Mancini.
“I really didn’t like the joke he made about Salah,” the team manager told Italia 7 television.
The comment was during a Press conference, saying he hadn’t called Salah because his phone ran out of credit.
“It was unpleasant. I’d never have expected something like that from a man of his experience. His comment was offensive towards Fiorentina.”
Salah has now returned to Chelsea for pre-season training and it remains to be seen what will happen, including the threat of FIFA arbitration.
“Nobody thinks he’s going to suddenly turn up here, but I just want to know what happened. The last time I saw him, he was happy and joking around with everyone, then something must’ve changed.
“He probably received a scandalous offer. We too proposed a very high wage and could not have done more.”
Fiorentina midfielder Alberto Aquilani claims Salah told him some time ago that he wouldn’t be staying in Florence.
“He might’ve said that, but all the other teammates say the complete opposite, which is that Salah wanted to stay.”
