Fiorentina president Commisso 'disappointed' with Juventus signing Chiesa

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso admits he's disappointed with Federico Chiesa.

Chiesa left the Viola for Juventus on deadline day.

“I am disappointed," he said.

“He hasn't called me since he left, and I think neither me or my family deserved this treatment from him."

Commisso has also announced the creation of Fiorentina's new training centre in Bagno a Ripoli, a town just kilometres away from Florence.

“Joe Barone has been working on this project for over one year," Commisso said.

“This project is entirely private, so you know the money spent on it belongs to the Commisso family. I am happy and proud to leave something nice for Florence. This is just an example of what Rocco can do.

“It will be Italy's biggest sporting centre with more than 400 employers who will work there every day.

“The construction work will begin in January 2021 and end around Christmas of the same year. I'll spend almost half the money Juventus invested to build their stadium."
