ROME – Former Juventus, Chelsea and Italy striker Gianluca Vialli has died aged 58 of pancreatic cancer, his former clubs announced on Friday. Vialli was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 but was still able to play a significant role in Italy’s European Championship...
He also guided Chelsea to victory in the 2000 FA Cup final but was sacked the following season.
Chelsea’s current co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said in a statement: “This is truly an awful day for Chelsea Football Club. Gianluca’s legend will live on at Stamford Bridge. “His impact as a player, a coach and most importantly as a person, will be forever written across our club’s history.”
Sampdoria, where Vialli won the Serie A title and European Cup Winners’ Cup, said in their statement: “We have come a long way together, growing and searching, winning and dreaming. You came as a boy, we salute you as a man.”The Italian football federation said a minute’s silence would be held before all matches in the country this weekend.
“Gianluca was a wonderful person and leaves an unbridgeable void, in the national team and in all those who appreciated his extraordinary human qualities,” it said. AFP
