FIORENTINA vs. TORINO Live Stream Online: 2014 Serie A Table, Live Coverage From Florence, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs in the top half of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Fiorentina and Torino. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence and can be live streamed here free.

After an impressive Serie A campaign with Fiorentina, the services of manager Vincenzo Montella have been widely sought after. Montella, however, is dedicated to the club's cause and insists it's where he belongs (h/t to Forza Italian Football). "I think I have always been serene, my statements always belonged to a coach that wants to stay," he told the press.

"Otherwise, I would have used a different strategy. If I had run out of enthusiasm, I could have eluded my exit clause; my will was and is to stay," he added.

"The timing and the means of my words were not wrong because I told them first what was necessary to improve the standings. I know the players better than they do because I see them every day. I knew we would reach the fourth place."

"Our target is not to lose our identity and our way of doing football, we must remain ourselves also in the defeats; we must absolutely not lose that.

Will Montella lead his men to one more impressive victory and cap a successful Serie A season? Tell us @SportsWN
