Claudio Ranieri’s adventure on the club benches, and perhaps also the last match of his career, ended with a late 3-2 defeat against Fiorentina, at the end of a crazy match. In the first half the Viola managed to take the lead with a super goal from Bonaventura, only to then suffer a comeback from the Sardinians in the second half. The rossoblu found the equalizer with the former Crusader Deiola, and then took the lead in the 85th minute with the very young Mutandwa. Victory seems one step away, but a few minutes later the Italian team equalizes with Nico Gonzalez’s goal. After ten minutes of injury time, Ranieri’s insult came: Beltrani got the penalty, Arthur made no mistake and gave the Viola the three points.
