Leonardo Semplicialso a former coach of Fiorentina Primavera, issued several statements directly from Viola Park, where the funeral home was opened for Joe Barone, who died yesterday: “This is a sad day for everyone. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe both on and off the field not too long ago. He was a great man and a great coach. I think he did a lot for Fiorentina. Even all this, Viola Park, is the result of his ideas. To lose a person is a great humility and a great pain, it is also a great pain for Italian football, not only for the team and the city.
