Ferrari visited the player in Florence’s Careggi hospital on Monday.
“We are much happier and more relaxed than we were yesterday,” Ferrari said.
“We saw the lad this morning, we spoke to him, he is lucid, alert, with his [usual] desire to laugh and joke.
“The situation obviously has to be kept under control... but the lad is fine.”
Ferrari added that the 22-year-old had spoken to his teammates and convinced them to take the field for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia tie against Empoli.
Sunday’s match against Inter was suspended after Bove collapsed.
The Florence club has said that initial cardiological and neurological tests “have ruled out acute damage to the central nervous system and the cardio-respiratory system”.
It said Monday that further tests will be done to find out what caused the collapse.
“Fiorentina would like to thank Careggi University Hospital and all of the doctors and staff for the wonderful humanity and professionalism they have shown,” the club said in a statement.
“The club would also like to thank the wider Fiorentina family and the entire world of football who, during this difficult time, have shown their great sympathy and care through their messages and support, which have been of great comfort both to the club and Edoardo and his family.”
During Roma’s 2-0 loss to Atalanta on Tuesday morning (AEDT), there were numerous banners in the stands thanking him as Roma players wore special shirts in the warm-up with the words ‘Forza Edo’.
Bove is a product of the Roma youth academy and joined Fiorentina on loan in the off-season.
