(Reuters) - Fiorentina fans and players, along with many others from across Italian football, gathered at the Serie A side's training centre on Wednesday to pay their respects to the club's General Manager Joe Barone, who died on Tuesday.

Barone, who would have been 58 on Wednesday, died after he suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday while with the team as they prepared for a league game with Atalanta, which was postponed.
