Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella hit out at fans after being dumped out of the Europa League by Sevilla.

Fiorentina players were jeered as they lost the second-leg 2-0 at home and 5-0 on aggregate.

"We certainly weren't fortunate over the two legs, as Sevilla scored almost 100 per cent of their chances and we got 0 per cent," Montella told Sport Mediaset.

"I thought Fiorentina tried to play and score right to the final whistle, even though qualification was clearly out of reach, so they deserve more respect than they received.

"Considering the efforts, the results so far all season, I don't think this side deserved jeers. I think my team deserves more respect than they are getting at this moment from the crowd. They do not deserve to be derided by their own fans.

"Perhaps this proved the Fiorentina fans in the stadium tonight do not understand their dimension in the football world. It's a shame."
