Fiorentina fans have hung up a banner outside the club's stadium to apologise for racist abuse directed at manager Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Mihajlovic has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks to quit the Florence club.

Fans have repeatedly chanted slogans for Mihajlovic to leave the club, even though they are only two points off a European place in Serie A.

The chants continued during Fiorentina's 1-0 win over Genoa on Sunday, but some also chanted abuse about Mihajlovic's Serbian background.

However, supporters hung up a banner outside the club's Artemio Franchi stadium, which read: "As a coach we can oppose you but as a man we respect you, sorry!"

Fiorentina are currently eleventh in Serie A.

The Viola are next in action at Chievo on Sunday afternoon.
