Fiorentina farewell, Italian moved: ‘I feel pain’

Addio alla Fiorentina, Italian moved: "I feel pain"

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano said goodbye to the purple club after the match they won against Atalanta: "I get chills and I get emotional, having to leave this bond è very painful, but soccer è this is it. The bonds created will remain forever", he told DAZN microphones. Italian did not è manage to give the Conference League to the fans: "Unfortunately we could have arrived with a fair prize, it was 3 great years and I think I leave differently than I arrived".

"I go away with a great baggage that the purple people, the society and the boys have given me and I will take it" with me. We could have had a joy with a cup like in Bergamo, but the balance è positive".

Fans have challenged the team: "I think when you get to a certain level and maybe you can’t go beyond that, people, the’environment asks for a greater effort and at the moment when one has given his all and I think I have given everything è it’s right to change the page, with a new path that canò make the boys grow. This è what I said to the president and whoever else was there in the meeting".

"Those who work in Florence, those who start a path with the purple jersey know that they have to give so much, that people have so much passion and push to have the best. I understood that some attacks are wanted for the good of the jersey. Some times they hurt but they served me to grow. As Gasperini told me è that the path è always be remembered, we did not win trophies but it will be remembered; that we made 3 finals and this will be recognized", concluded Italiano".
