After Napoli took the lead via Amir Rrahmani, Fiorentina went 2-1 ahead via Cristiano Biraghi and M'Bala Nzola before Kvicha Kvaratskhelia's equaliser.

We'll take this draw, we also have a game in hand, so will do what is necessary to secure our seasonal objective of a top eight finish," Italiano told DAZN.

Napoli are a dangerous opponent with quick wingers and are so good on the counter. At times we are a little too open and that is something which could cost us dearly if we are not more careful. It should've been more comfortable after taking the lead, but instead we made life difficult for ourselves and risked defeat."

On the Europa Conference League final, the coach said: We all have this dream and all together will try to do one better than last season. I am glad the fans applauded the lads at the end of a fantastic two-year run and after Cagliari we'll concentrate on bringing the trophy home.

Sitting on the bench at the Stadio Franchi is a role filled with responsibility. You know what you are going into, you know the passion of these people, so that is why you want to give your best and win every game. Sensing this atmosphere makes us realise we must leave nothing to chance.

It is an honour and a privilege to share this experience with these players."
