The club announced it had appointed Javi Gracia this week, but it seems he was not their first choice.
“We spoke to Sousa a while back, but his financial demands were outside our budget,” President Ilsur Metshin told Gazeta.ru.
Sousa had also been in negotiations with Zenit St. Petersburg, but opted to remain in Florence.
