Prandelli vows to put Valencia back on winning track

Valencia coach Cesare Prandelli praised his team's spirit and determination as his tenure at the ailing La Liga giant got off on the right note with a 2-1 win at Sporting Gijon on Sunday.

The former Italy boss succeeded Pako Ayesteran two weeks ago, with the two-time Champions League finalist in the relegation zone.

His new charges had a flying start at Gijon when Mario Suarez finished off an impressive counter attack in the seventh minute.
