After the draw, Vincenzo Montella had the following to say:

Coppa Italia 2014/15: Roma, Juve, Parma possible opponents

The draw for the 2014/15 Coppa Italia has also been made recently, meaning that Fiorentina now know which teams they may have to face in the latter stages of the competition.

Along with the other seven top seeds, last season’s runners-up will enter the competition at the last-16 stage, where their most likely opponents are Atalanta.

Should Montella’s charges go through to the quarter-finals, they could find Roma waiting in their path. The other two seeded teams in the bottom half of the draw are Parma and Juventus, either of which may provide the opposition in a potential semi-final.
