After spending big there was optimism in Florence, but their season has been a mess that may get worseDaniele Pradè had described Fiorentina v Lecce as a “question of life or death”, but as the occasion approached he remembered football’s third option: you can always just walk away. On Saturday, a little more than 24 hours before this game was due to take place, he left his role as sporting director of the Viola by mutual consent.The timing was a surprise, but not the decision.

23 h. ago Talking Horses | Willie Mullins eyes Melbourne and Breeders’ Cup double after shock triumph
