Fiorentina have retired the No 13 shirt formerly worn by captain Davide AstoriFiorentina have retired the No 13 shirt formerly worn by captain Davide Astori following the death of the 31-year-old. The Serie A club announced the gesture on Tuesday morning, while confirming Astori's former club Cagliari would also be taking the same action. Astori died suddenly on Sunday morning in a Udine hotel, where La Viola were basing themselves ahead of Sunday's Serie A match against Udinese. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who selected Astori while manager of the Italian national team, has also spoken warmly of his former player. A minute's silence will be held before all Champions League games this week in tribute to Astori.
