Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli will almost certainly be staying
at the club, according to sporting director Pantaleo Corvino.
Speculation in the Italian press has linked Prandelli with a
move to Juventus this summer, but Corvino said that would not
happen.
"Will Prandelli remain? For sure he will," Corvino told
Gazzetta dello Sport.
Fiorentina president Diego Della Valle last week called for
Prandelli to publicly pledge his allegiance to the Viola after
ongoing speculation that he is the number one candidate to replace
Alberto Zaccheroni at Juve at the end of the season.
"The comments made by our president were only of affection
towards Prandelli because he does not want to lose him," Corvino
added.
"Prandelli has always stated he would like to continue with
us."
The 52-year-old Prandelli is the longest serving coach in
Serie A after joining Fiorentina in the summer of 2005. He is under
contract with the club until June 2011.
