Mourning in the world of football. Graziano Fiorita, historic physiotherapist of Lecce, died suddenly at the age of 47. The news has left the Salento club and the entire Serie A environment in shock, for which it was also decided to postpone the challenge scheduled for tomorrow between Lecce and Atalanta in Bergamo. The match will be recovered on Sunday at 20:45 .
"US Lecce, deeply shocked, announces that Graziano Fiorita has suddenly passed away. The physiotherapist, who had been with the Giallorossi for over twenty years, was with the team at the retreat in Coccaglio ," reads a note from the Apulian club.
"The team - the statement adds - will return to Lecce immediately, as the match scheduled for tomorrow against Atalanta will be postponed. In this moment of deep pain and total disbelief, in which any word would be superfluous, the club can only rally around his wife Azzurra and his children Carolina, Davide, Nicolò and Riccardo, his mother Francesca and all his family members ."
The tragic discovery was made this morning by the Lecce technical staff who, not seeing Fiorita arrive at the usual morning appointment, looked for him and found him lifeless in his hotel room in the retreat in Coccaglio , in the province of Brescia.
