Turin, 13 July (LaPresse) – "There is definitely excitement. Florence and Fiorentina are something special to me. Returning to work here is very emotional. I am doing so with immense pleasure and also a great sense of responsibility. We are at a great club, we have an entire city behind us." These were the words of Fiorentina's new coach Stefano Pioli as he spoke to Viola Channel on the day of his arrival at Viola Park, where he met with CEO Alessandro Ferrari and sporting director Daniele Pradè and was able to visit the facilities where the 2025 season will begin tomorrow with the pre-season training camp. ‘Seeing familiar faces with whom I have shared important experiences is very pleasant and makes me feel at home,’ he added. ‘I found the facilities to be exceptional and incredible, very different from what we had before. This is a plus that will help us do our job better and ensure that next season is the best possible.’
