Valencia Outgoing coach says agreement broken

Valencia: Prandelli has given up and there's no need for excuses

Former Valencia coach Cesare Prandelli has taken a parting shot at the club, accusing them of breaking promises in relation to winter signings.

The Italian announced his departure on Friday, citing his frustration with life at the Estadio Mestalla and leaving after just eight games in charge.

"[Peter] Lim told me that I could bring in four players in January and on the 29th [of December] the plan became either [Simone] Zaza or a midfielder," explained Prandelli.

"I could only choose one. We went from four to one. I made it clear on the 27th that I wanted Zaza and was surprised when I returned from vacation and no work was done on it.

"I was promised that signings would be made in January after a meeting with Lim and the transfer group."

Despite the broken promises and obvious frustration, Prandelli did admit that it was a disappointing time for him personally.

"I am very sad, sad because a dream has ended," added the former Fiorentina tactician.
