Prandelli's Fiorentina delight

Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli has revealed his joy at securing Champions League football for the Viola next season after the Florence side secured the feat ahead of AC Milan on the final day of the season. Prandelli also revealed he has no intentions of walking out on the club.

Prandelli has worked hard on rebuilding a squad that he has transformed into a successful side again.

“We will play the preliminary round at the end of an extraordinary season,” said the coach.

“Yet again I must thank these wonderful lads. Toro didn’t want to lose today, so finally football has changed!

“We have achieved a very important objective and President Della Valle came into the locker room to compliment everybody.

“Tonight in Florence we will celebrate. In this moment in time I am very happy, it’s amazing how one goal can change everything. Now we will rest and then sit around a table to prepare for next season.”
