Brazil-born Amauri signed for Juventus for 22 million euros from Palermo in 2008 but after a promising start his career nosedived and he now plays for struggling Fiorentina, who host Juve on Saturday.
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli gave Amauri his international debut in 2010 but it turned out to be his only cap and the 31-year-old's last goal was on loan at Parma last April.
"Amauri has promised me his first goal for Fiorentina this Saturday," the Florence club's chief executive Sandro Mencucci told reporters.
"The manager and his players are enjoying a truly commendable season" he told reporters.
"They know that there are 11 championship games to go and possibly another two in the Coppa Italia, they're aware that there's the possibility to obtain prestigious results so we'll be perfectly calm in trying to reach our targets."
"Opponents give something extra when they play Milan and Parma at home have always done well. We have to be careful," he told Milan Channel before hailing Antonio Nocerino, the midfield revelation of the year after average spells at Juve and Palermo.
"It's a great advantage for us to have a player like Nocerino. When he came in, perhaps we didn't expect that he could do what he is doing."
Seventh-placed Inter Milan, eliminated from the Champions League by Olympique Marseille on Tuesday, host Atalanta as they continue their unlikely quest to reach next season's competition by making up an eight-point gap to the Romans.
