AC Milan hero Billy Costacurta believes Raffaele Palladino can make a big impact with Fiorentina.

Costacurta told Messaggero Venato: "Who can disturb the middle bourgeoisie between Fiorentina, Bologna and Torino the big ones?
"In my opinion Fiorentina. Torino have hired a coach who can become a potential cracker (Paolo Vanoli), but by selling (Alessandro) Buongiorno, (president) Urbano Cairo has shown little ambition."
Costacurta, meanwhile, can see Italy improving for their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
"(Atalanta signing Nicolo) Zaniolo will certainly improve under the guidance of (Gian Piero) Gasperini. (Newcastle's Sandro) Tonali has the characteristics that we lacked in midfield," he added.
