Empoli coach Maurizio Sarri is delighted to have secured Serie A safety.
Empoli's 1-0 win over Torino guarantees another season in the top-flight.
"Obviously we are very happy because from our promotion in July 2014 nobody gave us a hope of staying in Serie A," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.
"This proves modern football has a place for a reality like Empoli. Will I stay at Empoli? At this moment yes, then in football something unpredictable can always happen and that goes for the club too. As of today, I say my future is here."
