Former Inter Manager Pioli: “Chiesa Renewed Because He Believes In The Project At Fiorentina”

Former Inter manager Stefano Pioli discussed Inter linked Federico Chiesa’s future at current club Fiorentina.

“Chiesa renewed because he believes in the project here at Fiorentina and management believes he can be a player that they can count upon.”

Chiesa has attracted interest from not only Inter but a number of other top European clubs due to his exploits this season. The new contract which was signed last weekend ties the 20-year-old winger to the Viola through to 2022. Chiesa, the son of former Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Parma forward Enrico, has appeared in all but one of Fiorentina’s 13 league games this season and scored three and assisted just as many.

Pioli also spoke on former club Lazio who they take on this weekend and mentioned Inter while commenting on the Stadio Olimpico club.

“Lazio are a good team, but for them to get into the top four, they’ll have to fight. If they finish fifth, it’s because Juventus, Napoli, Roma and Inter are really good teams.”
