ACF Fiorentina wishes to announce that, in agreement with the director, Pantaleo Corvino's contract as technical and sporting director will not be renewed once it expires. This enables the club to start thinking immediately about the future and the strategies to be undertaken with transparency. We thank Pantaleo Corvino, who has worked for the club in complete autonomy and with our complete confidence for many years. We will not forget that regardless of the last two seasons, which have been unsatisfactory for everyone, in particular the club itself, Corvino helped Fiorentina to play a leading role at the top level both in Italy and on the international scene.
Andrea Della Valle: "I apologise on behalf of the group"

The words of club patron (patron, as in patron saint?) Andrea Della Valle from the Stadio Franchi: "I apologise to the fans on behalf of the whole group. Obviously no one wanted the game to end that way. We've been discussing things for hours down in the dressing rooms. The most important thing was to close ranks with the players and the coach. We must come through this together. The coach is dismayed and angry with the lads, and they are absolutely furious with themselves. We must pick ourselves up and save the season. Nothing is compromised. We are a little worried but we have to go into the last ten games with great conviction. I think something good will come out of the exchange of ideas we've had this evening. Tomorrow the team will have a day off, then we'll look at things together and plan the week so that we can go to Genoa for a difficult game. After Parma and Catania I was optimistic, but today once we ran into the first difficulties we weren't able to recompact (???) the group. At the end of the season we'll make further assessments."
Guerini: "We accept the protest. Now we must get our heads down and focus on Genoa"
18/03/2012
The words of Fiorentina Club Manager Vincenzo Guerini after the match: "We accept the fans' protest. The club felt it was appropriate to give priority to the dressing room. We have to come to terms with a very heavy defeat. We must work hard to get ourselves out of this situation. Has Rossi resigned? He's just very disappointed. Cerci's kick? Action will certainly be taken. But the most important thing now is saving the season and making sure we stay up (where, on a ladder?). Can the defeat be explained by the many absentees? We must have the decency to keep quiet, get our heads down and focus on Genoa. Andrea Della Valle? He's been with us since Thursday. He's as upset as anybody."
