(GSM) – Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has stated that coach Cesare Prandelli will be staying at the club.

Recent speculation in the Italian press has suggested that Prandelli could move to Juventus this summer.

But Corvino has rubbished reports and said that would not happen.

“Will Prandelli remain? For sure he will,” Corvino told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fiorentina president Diego Della Valle last week called for Prandelli to publicly pledge his allegiance to the Viola after ongoing speculation that he is the number one candidate to replace Alberto Zaccheroni at Juve at the end of the season.

“The comments made by our president were only of affection towards Prandelli because he does not want to lose him,” Corvino added. “Prandelli has always stated he would like to continue with us.”

The 52-year-old Prandelli is the longest serving coach in Serie A after joining Fiorentina in the summer of 2005. He is under contract with the club until June 2011.
