The Serb was coach of the Viola until the end of last season, and believes that the player won't be at the club much longer.

“I consider Jovetic to be one of the best players in Serie A, but right now he is not playing at his level. I am no longer in Florence, so I cannot say for sure what the problem is," said Mihajlovic.

"It’s evident he is suffering because of something and if things don’t change I think he’ll leave at the end of the season."
