Fear in Bergamo this Sunday afternoon. The general director of Fiorentina, Joe Barone, was rushed by helicopter from the hotel in Bergamo, where he was previously before the long-awaited meeting against Atalanta, on the lawn of the Gewiss Stadium, as part of of the 29th day, to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan. According to initial information from the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Florentine leader was said to have suffered a heart attack. The situation is said to be very serious and the first reports are raising concerns.
The League and the clubs discussed the possibility of playing or not the match scheduled for this Sunday evening. The entire Fiorentina staff, visibly in shock, requested its postponement. And according to indiscretions, the meeting will be postponed. After assessing the situation internally, the Lega Serie A decided to postpone this shock to the summits in Italy: “We inform you that the Atalanta-Fiorentina match, scheduled for today March 17, 2024 from 6 p.m., and valid for the 29th day of the Serie A championship, has been postponed to a later date”.
