Empoli midfielder Mirko Valdifiori says they can be proud to have secured Serie A safety for another season.

Valdifiori helped Empoli to victory over Torino, which is enough to guarantee they will stay up.

"Staying up is our Scudetto," Valdifiori told Sky Italia.

"We all know how we started and how people saw us. We've worked with humility and achieved something great for the club and the fans.

"[Coach Maurizio] Sarri has given us an identity as a team, every player knows their job on the pitch, and the Coach allows us to play well.

"Now it's important that we don't feel content, we must finish as high as possible.

"Will I leave? I don't know, I'm just thinking about celebrating safety, and ending the season well."
