Vanoli's comments come ahead of Sunday's match against Napoli at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, which kicks off at 11.30 UK time (12.30 CEST). The coach has been recalled to try and steer Fiorentina to safety after Fabio Grosso's dismissal, having already revitalised the Viola last season. He got off to an ideal start, winning 4-2 away to Venezia and then securing a 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over Pisa. Vanoli has been working on team-building exercises, including a barbecue at the training ground yesterday, and is trying to find his ideal starting XI. He has been considering pairing Christ Inao Oulai and Nicolò Fagioli together as double playmakers, but it remains to be seen if they will be ready to start.
