Graziano Fiorita, Lecce's physiotherapist, died suddenly at the "Giallorossi" club base in the Kokaljo training camp.
The club has sadly announced the death of a physiotherapist who worked with the first team for over 20 years.
"In this moment of deep pain and complete disbelief, in which every word would be superfluous, the club can only rally around his wife Azure and children - Karolina, Davide, Nikola and Rikard, mother Francesca and his entire family," the club announced.
The Lecce - Atalanta match, scheduled for Friday, will be postponed and the Boginja players have returned to Bergamo, after the unpleasant news.
Atalanta are third in Serie A with 64 points, seven behind leaders Inter Milan. Lecce are 17th with 26 points, a point above the relegation zone with five games remaining.
Montenegrin players, former club forward Mirko Vučinić and current team top scorer Nikola Krstović, also said their sad farewell to Fiorita via social media.
