A tragedy has struck Lecce's training camp in Coccaglio, in the province of Brescia: Graziano Fiorita, the club's long-time physiotherapist, passed away suddenly in his sleep at the age of just 48. Having served the team for over twenty years, Fiorita was with the squad preparing for their match against Atalanta, scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Gewiss Stadium.
Deeply shaken, Lecce announced the postponement of the match and the team's immediate return to the city. Graziano had started his career at a young age, following in the footsteps of his father Fernando, who had been a masseur for the giallorossi for ten seasons. His passing leaves a significant void in the entire Salento sporting community.
