Prandelli is one of the protagonists of the "Only for the Jersey" campaign, which celebrates Fiorentina's 100th anniversary. Fiorentina was founded in August 1926 and remains one of Italy's most iconic clubs today. The former Viola coach told the media, including FirenzeViola.it: "This is a celebration for everyone; it has no ownership, only emotion and passion, which is a wonderful thing."

Antognoni to Miss the Grand Event

Prandelli also spoke about Antognoni's decision not to attend: "I don't need to convince anyone; this is a celebration for everyone, born out of an unconditional love for the jersey. Giancarlo has valid reasons, which I am aware of, involving relationships and emotional aspects. However, he will still be a protagonist today. I hope to have the opportunity to see Giancarlo recognized not just for one chapter, but for the entire history of Viola."

The Future of Fiorentina

Prandelli also spoke about the period ahead: "I'm very interested in Grosso because he has done very well in developing players over the years, and he is not rigid in terms of system and game development. I expect a team that can frequently change its approach. We fans must always be ambitious and aim for the Champions League. Now, first and foremost, we must be happy for this team and these capable individuals."
