Fiorentina Coach Vincenzo Montella warned more stars will want to leave Italy after the chaotic Coppa Italia scenes.
Last night’s Final in Rome was delayed by 45 minutes amid rumours a Neapolitan shot in the chest earlier had died.
The game was only given the go-ahead after intense negotiations between Napoli captain Marek Hamsik, the authorities and the ultras leaders, when police released a statement noting the fan was still alive and the shooting likely unrelated to the match.
It eventually started and Napoli went on to beat Fiorentina 3-1.
“Do I have any regrets? Yes, not being able to enjoy the emotion of the Final because of what happened before the game,” said Montella in his Press conference.
“Unfortunately this is what our football is like. There is incredulity at the situation. This way we’ll lose many more players, as it’s only normal they will seek other paths.
“It certainly could’ve been a better day of sport. There was everything needed to offer a different spectacle.”
