Arrivederci Mister

Cesare Prandelli bows out as Fiorentina manager. Special guest Richard Hughes speaks to Boaz and Kenny about playing for the great man in the Atalanta youth setup.

Elsewhere, the Azzurri get their World Cup qualification off to a flier with a 2-0 win against Northern Ireland in Parma.
