'A dark cloud has developed inside of me': Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli steps down due to 'profound distress'
CNN
Cesare Prandelli has stepped down from his position as head coach of Serie A side Fiorentina, saying that a "dark cloud" has developed inside of him.
In a moving open letter published on the club's website, the 63-year-old explained that he has been experiencing "a period of profound distress which is preventing me from being who I really am." Prandelli returned to coach Fiorentina for a second time in November 2020, 10 years after leaving the club to manage the Italian national team following a successful five-year spell with the Serie A team. However, La Viola has been struggling this season, with the club sitting in 14th place, seven points above the relegation zone.More Related News
