Toldo stays, Cois leaves, Bachini arrives

by Alessio Da Ronch

          Florence -- It's official, Toldo will stay and Cois will
          probably leave. Last week Cecchi Gori has managed to convince
          Toldo to stay in Florence and also promised an increase of
          salary. He was given the assurance that with the confirmation of
          Rui Costa and Batistuta and the acquisition of other champions,
          the club is building a great Fiorentina. Based on these Toldo
          will define the details of his new contract before leaving for
          the Euro 2000 and he has declared that he's happy to stay in
          Florence. "Yes, I am happy here. I have spent seven fantastic
          years, with the people who have always been closed to me, with
          only a small exception which by now have been forgotten."
          In Toldo's notebook there is also another important appointment:
          his wedding. In July, Francesco will marry Manuela, a very
          beautiful padovana, who is a simple girl like him and one who
          has understood everything in life. [...]
