Stefano Fiore has ended his La Liga nightmare after agreeing to move to Fiorentina.
The Italian international was signed by Valencia shortly after Claudio Ranieri became Coach last summer.
But things quickly turned sour as he failed to adjust to life in Spain and Ranieri departed the club earlier this year.
“I arrive in Florence with the best intentions to recover the year I lost in Valencia. I want to redeem myself and to do well for this club,” stated Fiore.
“Here I know that I can do very well because I only needed to speak on the phone with Mr Prandelli to realise what kind of work he wants.
“I can find space in the middle of the pitch – behind the strikers or in front of the defence – undertaking a technical job but at the same time with sacrifice.
“I can also score apart from giving assists to my teammates, but it’s better not to talk about this before the start of the season, because they say it brings bad luck,” he added.
The deal sees Fiore arrive at the Tuscan outfit on a season long loan with a view to making the deal permanent next summer. |
