Cesare Prandelli has dismissed speculation over a move to Juventus next season by pledging his allegiance to Fiorentina on Tuesday in a statement on the club’s website.
Prandelli’s announcement followed on from the resignation of honorary club president Diego Della Valle earlier in the day.
The pair had been at odds since last week when Della Valle criticised Prandelli for not openly claiming he would be staying in Florence.
“Cesare Prandelli has indicated his intentions to stay in Florence and respect his contract with the ‘Viola’,” said the club statement.
Prandelli joined Fiorentina in 2005 and has a contract until the end of next season.
Speculation has linked him with both the Juventus job and the national team post.
Fiorentina currently sit eighth in Serie A but were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich in the last 16.
