Marco Giampaolo calls Empoli 'my strongest team ever' while denying he will Coach Fiorentina.
The Viola might be on the lookout for someone to replace Paulo Sousa, whose relationship with the club is believed to be rather tense. Giampaolo, however, has no intention of taking the Portuguese's place.
“For now I'll be staying home, then we'll see what comes my way,” he told Toscana TV. “There's no risk that Fiorentina call me because Sousa is one of the best coaches in town. Besides, the Viola are strong.

“Back in the days of [Pantaleo] Corvino that option existed, but in the end they chose [Sinisa] Mihajlovic.
“My relationship with Empoli was interrupted, and this was for the best, not least to keep up a good relationship with the club and the supporters. That's not something you can mantain very often in football, unfortunately.
“When I came to Tuscany there was little work to be done because the professionalism of the club and the players is very high. This year's Empoli is the strongest team I ever coached.”
