Former Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli is impressed by the work of Vincenzo Italiano.
Prandelli is also happy seeing Jacky Bonaventura thriving in a Viola shirt.
He told TMW: "In Florence there is a very good coach, who has ideas and knows how to prepare matches. The city has an immense desire to compete with Europe and the ability to put out a team to take responsibility. For me, Fiorentina must aim high.
"I'm very happy for Jack, he deserves it. In recent years he has surprised everyone, with his determination and conviction he managed to return to the national team and I hope he can stay there for some time. Tactically he can play three or four roles, after years of rigidity he's more flexible lately."
