Fiorentina’s Edin Dzeko shows elite leadership to unite club in difficult times | OneFootball

In a powerful display of leadership following Fiorentina’s latest defeat—a loss to Atalanta that leaves the club rooted at the bottom of the table—veteran striker Edin Dzeko personally addressed the traveling supporters.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, after the final whistle in Bergamo, the Fiorentina squad approached the away section to apologize to the frustrated fans. In a standout moment of accountability and commitment, Dzeko—who had previously sought the fans’ vocal support after the AEK Athens match—took a megaphone to communicate directly with the traveling supporters.

The 39-year-old Bosnian striker used the device to clarify the situation with the away fans and, crucially, to demand their maximum possible support as the team attempts to climb out of its disastrous position. The move underscores Dzeko’s excellent leadership in a difficult period, stepping up to unite the players and supporters when the threat of relegation to Serie B could be just around the corner.
