Hundreds of people have already reached the Promoteca hall of the Campidoglio this morning where the funeral home was set up for Sinisa Mihajlovic, a former footballer and coach who died two days ago in Rome.

Many wreaths of flowers sent by Fifa and its former clubs such as Rome and Lazio.

«My memory linked to Sinisa is when we met in Bologna the last time. He told me nice phrases about Naples, he cared about our situation, he liked us as a team and as a city. He also said nice things to me about the mutual esteem that there was between us», were the words of Luciano Spalletti, coach of Napoli. «He was someone who immediately made you understand who you were dealing with, he didn't have the fear of having to hide and then cheat or bypass you. He was very direct, he immediately aroused this sense of a real person," he concluded.

«He is a fighter, he has been from the first day to the last - said Ignazio La Russa, president of the Senate, arriving in the Municipality - He has shown that this is possible. He took free kicks against opposing goals, but also against life's adversities, and they were always winning kicks ».

The scarves of Turin and Bologna were also placed on the coffin. Many Milan fans present.
