Italian national team head coach Roberto Mancini believes in the success of his former pupil Aleksandr Kokorin. It was announced today that the Moscow "Spartak" forward is undergoing a medical examination with the "Fiorentina" team and will sign a contract for a duration of four and a half years. "I can only speak about this player in the best terms - he is an excellent footballer and person. Kokorin is a true champion and could compete in any club on the planet, including Madrid's "Real". Aleksandr is characterized by impeccable technique, strength, and his abilities in the "second level". Of course, he may need time to adjust in Italy, but "Fiorentina's" decision to add a Russian is a very good one," clarified R. Mancini, who had coached the player at "Zenit" team.
