Fiorentina are to pay tribute to Davide Astori by renaming their training ground after their late captain.
The Serie A side's president Mario Cognigni announced the decision, with the training ground to become known as the 'Centro Sportivo Davide Astori'.
Astori passed away earlier this month at the age of 31, with authorities saying he died of cardiac arrest in his hotel room the night before a league game against Udinese.
Cognigni told Italian media outlet Mediaset: "We've made this decision because that was his home. He went there every day for training and used to spend time there with his family too.
"We believe that honouring him in this way is the right thing to do so the training ground will now be called Centro Sportivo Davide Astori. We will do it as soon as possible."
Astori played 289 Serie A matches during his career, as well as earning 14 caps for Italy.
Thousands of fans, plus players and coaches, attended his funeral in Florence on March 8.
