Video: Cannavaro tries to console hearbroken Di Francesco as Frosinone relegated

Udinese coach Fabio Cannavaro tried to console a heartbroken Eusebio Di Francesco on Sunday night as Frosinone’s loss and Empoli’s win over Roma sent the Ciociari to Serie B.

Frosinone were relegated to Serie B after losing 1-0 to Udinese on Sunday night. Like many fans in the stadium, the Ciociari boss, Di Francesco, broke into tears after the final whistle. Cannavaro and his brother Paolo tried to console EDF on the pitch, but the ex-Roma boss seemed inconsolable.

Frosinone had had a great first part of the season and even a draw would have allowed them to secure survival.

However, M’Baye Niang’s late goal in Empoli-Roma kept the Tuscans in Serie A, sending Frosinone to the second division for the first time.

Frosinone has never managed to secure survival in history, and President Maurizio Stirpe took responsibility in an interview at the end of the match.
