The Lega Serie A has expressed its condolences for the sudden death of Fiorentina’s general manager Joe Barone.
"Italian soccer loses a managerial figure of the highest caliber,” said Lega Serie A President Lorenzo Casini. “Joe in his years at the helm of Fiorentina was able to express passion, competence and vision that allowed the club and the team to achieve important results both on the field and in management, with the’inauguration of the extraordinary Viola Park".
"Joe was a hard worker who brought to Serie A and Italian soccer the American entrepreneurial spirit and ability to think big. He was generous and always ready to fight for the good of the system. We will miss him very much indeed".
