The president of the Italian football club Fiorentina, Rocco Commisso, has died at the age of 77 after a long illness, as reported by the club's press service.

Commisso purchased Fiorentina in 2019 and during his presidency made a significant contribution to the team's development. Under his leadership, the club achieved notable successes: twice reaching the Conference League final (2023 and 2024) and once reaching the Italian Cup final (2023).

In honor of Rocco Commisso, the club decided to name its training center "Viola Park", which is a tribute of respect and recognition of the president's contribution to the football organization.
