Lecce coach Serse Cosmi accepts they're down after defeat to Fiorentina.

Fiorentina won 1-0 to condemn Lecce to Serie B.

It is not a good day for us," sighed Cosmi.

"We have to experience defeat with a sporting attitude. The Lecce fans showed great affection and understood the drama we were going through, as we gave our all and will probably get relegated.

"However, this club will not be Serie B grade. We changed the season, forcing many teams to fight to the very end for their safety. The first half of the campaign was bad and in these last few rounds we felt the fatigue of that fightback."
