Italy's coaches chief Renzo Ulivieri says Vincenzo Italiano is Fiorentina's biggest asset.
Ulivieri admits he's a fan of the Viola coach.
He told Firenzeviola.it: "Italiano is the strength of this team and the strength of this club, there is little to do. I hope he confirms the work done last year, where he has shown that he can give a game and an idea to the team.
"Italiano is someone who works a lot in the game in the opponent's penalty area, both with the midfielders and with the winger. So I believe that (Rolando) Mandragora will certainly improve from the point of view in preparation for shooting, to try to create the right opportunities that lead you to the conclusion: everything will pass from the work of Italiano.
"The hope is they continue the path started last year with gradual improvements. This is what we all want."
