Out of curiosity why not?

He's done alright at Fiorentina but I just don't think he's a "winner". Look at this season. The one time they do something in Europe, they're way down the Serie A table, even lower than us.

I'm not against him. I'd just prefer a safer option like Benitez. With him, we're almost guaranteed a top 3 finish (this year's Liverpool is a strange case).

He also managed to beat Bayern (and look convincing over two games) if we're looking at things which we couldn't do.

And he did something else we couldn't do, reach lower in Serie A. We're trying so hard but he must be the master of that.

Prandelli: 'I feel like I was fired'

Cesare Prandelli’s split from Fiorentina seems inevitable. “Diego Della Valle’s words felt like being fired. I’m very upset.”

Yesterday the President urged his Coach to sign a piece of paper in front of the fans confirming he believed in the club’s project and would stay on.

“I am a little embarrassed, but will try to be myself,” began Prandelli in today’s emotional Press conference.

“I am very upset and very bitter at Diego’s interview, but that has not damaged the respect I have towards the club owners.

“These words felt like being fired. I would like to know if there really is the intention to keep going together or if it was just a strong way of provoking a reaction.

“I have not made contact with anyone and haven’t signed for any other club. I am the Coach of Fiorentina. I put passion into my work and will always maintain the dream of winning something here.”

Prandelli has been heavily linked with the Juventus and Italy benches for next season, while Fiorentina may not qualify for Europe.

The tactician launched a stinging attack on Della Valle, who continues to maintain that the construction of a new 'Cittadella’ training complex can resolve their financial concerns.

“Two years ago he told me that with the Cittadella we could dream. I’ll be honest, I don’t believe in this Cittadella. It took five years just to get the training ground pitch sorted.

“I made my choice when I renewed my contract with Fiorentina. Without the Cittadella we cannot dream, but I live on dreams. If the Cittadella does exist then I will not take other offers into consideration, otherwise I am a professional and am ready to listen.

“If it’s an issue of staying for one more year and then declaring an end to that dream, then we should be clear and say the truth,” continued Prandelli.

“If there is the desire to stay together and keep cultivating this dream, albeit postponing it for a few years, then I am ready to renew for life. But we need to be clear.”

You know you're working for a whack club when you think building a new state-of-the-art training facility will get you out of debt.

I'll just be brief.

No, I don't.

Prandelli is rock average coach.

People would regret later and it backwards the club for 2 years. You better realize that now.

Benitez a safer option ?

I'm leaning towards Blanc now, what do the Ligue 1 guys here know of him?

Much safter then Prandelli, homie.

 

[The Curr]

Mancini anyone?

 

[Nicholas]

He is, but Benitez football is so boring.

How is Benitez not a safe option?

Folks act like the Serie A is as competitive as the top four in England.

He's done alright at Fiorentina but I just don't think he's a "winner". Look at this season. The one time they do something in Europe, they're way down the Serie A table, even lower than us.

But he managed to take fiorentina to Uefa cup semi-final two years ago and he was just one step away from making it to the final (if they were bit lucky) and still manged to qualify to the champions league the same year.

I think the guy is just underrated in this forum. Yes he didn't win "yet" but it would be almost an impossible task to win anything with Fiorentina even with a brilliant coach there.

EPL is different and his market money was partly limited. That type of signings wouldn't be here. Benitez is a good coach and there's no wonder that Real wants him.

Mancini anyone?

GTFO

His market Money was more than Ferguson, and yes the EPL is different which is why a Serie A coach is safer, like I said, I'm moing towards Blanc.

I don't want him. I was just wondering what everyone else thought of him.

 

[Nicholas]

Thats certainly one thing Benitez was given at Liverpool and that was alot of money to spend. 22 million on Robbie Keane
