    Not my first choice - too many parallels with Mihajlovic, but at least he's not a stopgap like Raineri, and I liked him as a player. Like how he said he was going to personally call all the players up.

    Good luck, and hope they can get him a half decent squad.

    Good luck with Montella lads I hope he does a good job with ye.:thumbsup:


    I gotta say it certainly would be funny if you guys finish ahead of us next season especially with all the hate he was getting on the Roma boards when he was linked with us.

    i think he is a good selection, and the one i believed would be made all along ;)
    gotta stop short of wishing him luck tho :D
    it will be very interesting to see what kind of squad they can get for him, on juve boards iv heard murmurs of an approach for matri.

    I read that Matri turned us down.

    I'm definitely not thrilled to have Montella but I certainly wish him all the success in the world while he's our manager.

    Could be worse you could've ended up with Ranieri :eek:

    That was certainly a possibility, if you read the press...

    Italy's performance at the Euro, final misteps aside, only showed how much Fiorentina miss Prandelli. Never the same since.

    I didn't miss Prandelli (I knew we were worse without him but it was time to try something new - not knowing the money would dry up) until I saw the great stuff Italy played in the Euros under Prandelli. The final was rough but Italy exits having done better than most expected, playing attractive football along the way.

    Un tifoso Viola grida a Montella:" Vincenzo falli correre...".
    Montella saggiamente risponde: "...Io devo farli giocare a calcio, non farli correre".

    I'm not sure you can have one without the other.

    Something about Montella disappoints me with how he's handling the Vargas situation. I'm deeply disappointed.
