"Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso passed away overnight at the age of 76, and as confirmed by the FIGC earlier today, there will be a minute's silence before every Serie A game this weekend. Commisso completed the purchase of Fiorentina back in 2019, becoming the new owner of the club, and he invested a lot from the get-go. In addition to the very modern training ground, known as Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park, he also spent a decent chunk on players to achieve sporting success."
"Sadly, he had been battling with an illness and as confirmed by Fiorentina early on Sunday morning, he passed away overnight. Even more heartache for La Viola, in other words, as they also lost their director Joe Barone very suddenly less than a year ago. In honour of Commisso's memory and everything that he did for Fiorentina, there will be a minute's silence before every Serie A game on matchday 21, or rather the remaining fixtures."
Rocco Commisso, the owner of Fiorentina, passed away overnight at 76 after battling an illness. The FIGC confirmed a minute's silence before every Serie A game on matchday 21 for the remaining fixtures. Commisso completed his purchase of Fiorentina in 2019 and invested heavily from the start, funding a modern training ground named Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park and spending significantly on players. Fiorentina also suffered the recent loss of director Joe Barone less than a year ago. Commisso previously attempted to buy AC Milan during Yonghong Li's financial difficulties, but Milan ultimately went to Elliott Management after Li defaulted.
