According to Gazzetta, Mourinho was ‘shocked’ to see Bove suddenly fall to the ground on Sunday, so he wanted to speak directly with the player’s family to understand what happened and the latest developments.

Mourinho was reassured that Bove was ‘awake, alert and oriented’ on Monday, the day after the medical emergency at the Stadio Franchi.

Bove played 72 games at Roma under Mourinho, more than with any other coach in his career, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

Bove collapsed at minute 17 during Fiorentina-Inter on Sunday. He received medical attention in less than 30 seconds and was taken to the local Careggi Hospital in just 13 minutes.

Bove joined Fiorentina from Roma last summer on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.
