Hellas Verona President Maurizio Setti admits coach Ivan Juric has not yet decided whether to extend his contract amid Fiorentina interest.

The tactician was hired last summer to take over a club that had just been promoted into Serie A via the play-offs.

A protégé of Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini, Juric has given Hellas a precise identity and taken them to mid-table comfort.

“Until there’s the signature on the contract, we don’t know if Juric will stay,” confessed Verona President Setti on Sky Sport Italia.

“Until there’s the signature on the contract, we don’t know if Juric will stay,” confessed Verona President Setti on Sky Sport Italia.

“The coach is an added value to this squad and we hope to continue working together. We have always been clear with him and Juric is evaluating the options.

“We are a newly-promoted club, we have to stay within some rock-solid financial parameters and there’s no getting away from that.”

Verona have already sold Sofyan Amrabat to Fiorentina and Amir Rrahmani to Napoli, with Marash Kumbulla in advanced negotiations for his transfer to Inter.

Juric is frustrated at the dismantling of his squad and tempted by the more ambitious project at Fiorentina.
