Fiorentina got off to a comfortable start, as Coach Paulo Sousa’s debut was a 10-0 victory over local Trentino Team.

The former Basel boss made his first appearance on the bench, but missed big players including Borja Valero, Joaquin, Josip Ilicic, Giuseppe Rossi and Stefan Savic.

The Viola started out with a 3-5-2 system, though with Ahmed Hegazi playing almost between defence and midfield lines.

Bakic opened the scoring with a curling finish, quickly followed by Gondo and a Michele Camporese volley.

Tottenham are reportedly interested in Fiorentina-owned striker Ante Rebic after his performance for Croatia’s Under-21 side.

The 21-year-old forward is spending this season on loan at RasenBallsport Leipzig, a team in the German second division.

Fiorentina have officially sent Marvin Compper and Ante Rebic to German club RB Leipzig.

The second division side bought defender Compper on a permanent transfer, while left-sided midfielder Rebic is on loan.

Four Serie A-based players have been named in Croatia’s preliminary World Squad, including Mateo Kovacic.

Fiorentina will be without Stefan Savic for several weeks and gave updates on Massimo Ambrosini, Nenad Tomovic and Ante Rebic.

Fiorentina striker Ante Rebic has commented on his first few months in Italy, admitting that the Viola are a ‘top club’.

The Croatia international joined Vincenzo Montella’s side over the summer from RNK Split, and the youngster has reflected on his brief time in Tuscany.

Giuseppe Rossi and Ante Rebic have been left out of Fiorentina’s Europa League squad because of injury.

The Viola will face Dnipro on Thursday, but the forwards have been omitted from Vincenzo Montella’s 20-man party.

Fiorentina’s Ante Rebic has quickly dismissed comparisons between himself and Croatia legend Alen Boksic.

Ante Rebic is delighted to be at Fiorentina after he joined the club from RNK Split during the summer transfer session.

“I can not say that I have been a Fiorentina fan since I was a kid because I would be lying, but I have already fallen in love with this club,” he told Sportski.

Vincenzo Montella said Adem Ljajic’s move to Roma was “inevitable and painless,” as Ante Rebic signed today.
