Matteo Renzi wanted to remember the late Fiorentina manager who passed away this week: “Now Joe will leave for the United States of America”.
Matteo Renzisenator of Italia Viva, went to Pozzallo for his final farewell to Joe Barone before the coffin left for the United States. The former mayor of Florence spoke on Radio FirenzeViola to remember the deceased manager: “I believe that Joe Barone was and still is a great friend of Florence. Even if there were moments of tension, when the Curva Fiesole sings “one of us” it shows what Florence is. Joe was truly one of us, one who worked for five years belly up for all the projects related to what he called “the purple people”. For this reason I thought it was right to come here to Pozzallo and give a last hug to the family and to Joe who will now leave for the United States “.
Renzi then reveals some anecdotes: “There are many, if I think of all the discussions we have had… Or the victory at San Siro against Inter with Jack’s goal 10 minutes from the end, or even the controversies about the stadium: I agreed with him but I couldn’t say it too much due to the political position I have. Even some moments of sadness like the lost finals, as I said in church. The first match was very strange, before that match against Genoa with Fiorentina who escaped at the last minute.”
“He found me in via Guicciardini and told me the exact words: “I am Joe”, I replied “I am Matteo” but I didn’t really understand who he was. I think that now Rocco Commisso needs all the closeness of Florence”.
