FLORENCE. A troubled farewell, shock resignation from the Fiorentina bench that took almost everyone by surprise. Cesare Prandelli leaves the viola and does so with a farewell letter in which he recounts the “absurd discomfort” experienced in recent times. He talks about a “shadow” within himself that has made him increasingly alien to the world of football. “I am aware that my career can end here” adds the former blue coach. Many predicted the farewell at the end of the season but not now. Even if after the good victory of Benevento Prandelli had emphasized at the end of the race that he felt “empty inside”.
Now those who know him well say that already on Sunday evening, immediately after the match against Milan, he was thinking of resigning. A delicate step, especially for him who for years has established a special relationship with the purple colors, with Florence, with the fans. “My decision is dictated by the enormous responsibility that I have first of all for the players and for the club, but not least for the respect I owe to the Fiorentina fans,” he wrote already as a former Viola coach. Important words, difficult to find in a world of football that has increasingly become a blender. «This is the second time I have left Fiorentina. The first at the behest of others, today for my decision. In the life of each one, in addition to beautiful things, waste accumulates, poisons that sometimes show you the bill all together ».
So much love for Fiorentina, for Florence and the Viola fans who, instead of being the right fuel to get the team started well, suddenly seem to have stopped everything. “In this moment of my life I find myself in an absurd unease that does not allow me to be who I am. I came here to give 100%, but as soon as I had the feeling that this was no longer possible, for the good of all I decided to take my step back ». And for the purple bench the return of Beppe Iachini is expected, who should lead the training today.
