Fiorentina star Fabrizio Miccoli insists he will quit football if the club are relegated.

Fiorentina star Fabrizio Miccoli insists he will quit football if the club are relegated.

The Viola hit man has spoken out as Viola struggle to find form during a New Year slump that has seen them take only a solitary draw from the past six games.

Despite showing ambition in the transfer market, coach Dino Zoff was allowed to sign Valeri Bojinov in the transfer window, the club are struggling to find any consistency - in a situation that is clearly upsetting Miccoli.

''Our aims have changed and now we must achieve salvation,'' claimed Miccoli.

''After Palermo scored on Wednesday the team played without ideas and we had difficulties.

''But this is a good team and relegation is unthinkable.

''If this team is relegated to Serie B, then I shall stop playing football.''
