Vincenzo Montella has said that his Fiorentina side can still improve following their strong start to the season.

The Viola are currently fourth in the Serie A table and will be competing in the Europa League in the New Year.

"Fiorentina are still incomplete," Montella told Sport Mediaset. "There is still a lot of room for growth.

"I think we can achieve that next level. Giuseppe Rossi is a footballing genius and a great guy.

"It is like an oasis here for me. It's just the fact that football is a results business, and if there are a lot of defeats, who knows what will happen?"

Fiorentina host Livorno in Serie A on January 5.
