&lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cesare Prandelli&lt;/strong&gt; was unveiled as new Fiorentina coach, speaking to reporters alongside Sporting Director Daniele Pradè.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;Prandelli replaces Giuseppe Iachini, and both the new coach and Director Pradè thanked and saluted Iachini.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRADÈ&amp;#39;S WORDS&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&#34;Thank you Beppe [Iachini]. Thank you from the President Commisso, Joe Barone and myself. It was a pleasure working together, you gave us a lot. But sport can be like this. We are very happy to welcome Cesare [Prandelli]. A decision we took together as a club. Welcome Cesare!&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;Cesare Prandelli left the club in 2010, and returns after a decade. Here are his quotes from the unveiling.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WELCOME -&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&#34;This club is human - this is great. I saluted Iachini, I never would have thought to replace him. In the past decade I always thought about Fiorentina. I think I am the only coach who bought the season ticket twice. Wherever I went I have always loved this club - it&amp;#39;s given me a lot and I hope I can give a lot back. Rocco Commisso and Joe Barone are sensitive people, they have a lot of respect for people.&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EMOTIONS - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&#34;Life is about emotions. The love I have for this club and team is extremely deep. I hope I can repay the trust. I am a coach and a fan of this team. It&amp;#39;s a decision I made with my heart and instinct. This club is ambitious - it&amp;#39;s a challenge. It will be tough, I can&amp;#39;t do magic. But we need to start realising what we represent. This is a starting point. We must be practical and let our dreams develop.&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FLORENCE -&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&#34;It&amp;#39;s impossible not to be hungry when we talk about Fiorentina. We must understand where we are, what we&amp;#39;re doing and what people want. We must respect Florence and the fans. We must remove all our mental obstacles, and we need to be brave. The fans expect a lot - and rightly so. This is Florence. Florence is everything - art and culture.&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ON THE SYSTEM -&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &#34;I believe this team has the basis to work well. The team has a powerful motor, we need to get it going. I have a few ideas about how to deploy the team, but first I want to speak with the players. Systems are always like that on paper when defending, but the team needs to be ready to change during the game.&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ON THE PLAYERS -&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&#34;I want a brave team, that plays their football against any opponent. I believe this team has quality. I think Kouame is more of a second striker. Regarding Amrabat, it depends what kind of holding midfielder one wants - he has exceptional qualities. We&amp;#39;re privileged to be playing football. We need to be concentrated, everyone is without fans. We need to have a winning mentality - like Florence. When the players understand that the mentality makes a difference, they&amp;#39;ll improve. I think some players are not aware of their potential.&#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.acffiorentina.com/en&#34;&gt;www.acffiorentina.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
