Former Italy and Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli reveals he has “lost friends” to the Coronavirus outbreak. “Unfortunately, I think we closed everything down a week too late.”
There have now been 1,266 deaths in Italy from the pandemic, which began three weeks ago.
“I lost friends to this and that is just terrible. All we can do is stay home and avoid social contact,” Prandelli told Lady Radio.

“I lost friends to this and that is just terrible. All we can do is stay home and avoid social contact,” Prandelli told Lady Radio.
“In a little village like mine in Orzinuovi, they organised a simple game of bocce with another village in Lodi and it looks as if that’s where it all spread from.
“Among that group, two or three of them had always gone to see Fiorentina, even in the away games. I was in Florence and have stayed here, but I’m keeping up to date with friends and family, some of whom are positive and in quarantine.
“It’s not such a big sacrifice for us to stay home for a while, but think of those who work in hospitals and haven’t seen their loved ones for many days.
“Unfortunately, I think we closed everything down a week too late. At this moment we have to all make a small sacrifice for the greater good. Perhaps nature was telling us we were all going too fast and had to refocus.”
