After making history at the club as a player, Giancarlo Antognoni returned to Fiorentina to serve as a director. This is what he told "Corriere Fiorentina" about the club's coaching situation:"Sousa is a modern manager. This role has changed a lot, you need to have a staff you trust and the manager becomes a coordinator of all these assistants. For me he did well, the team struggled in three matches since Fiorentina-Juventus, but I think the next manager will be Italian, although it's not my choice to make. For me the Italian school continues to be the best"
