“I’m always happy to come back here,” he told reporters. Sky Sport Italia and other sources more all claim the 44-year-old has agreed basic terms not just for the rest of the season, but also until June 2020. This would logically mean that Fiorentina's management should later on decide about future of the squad together wit new coach as well as several transfers who seem by now previewed as for certain players.

Anyway, terms of contract are believed to be worth €1.5m per season, with an option to extend, and he held his first training session yesterday.
