Tottenham coach Gian Piero Ventrone has died of leukaemia aged 61.
Antonio Conte's fitness guru, who first earned the nicknamed 'The Marine' in Italy due to his tough training regimes, joined Tottenham as the manager's right-hand man in 2021.
After falling ill, Ventrone was taken to the Fatebenefratelli hospital in Naples before suddenly passing away on Thursday.
Spurs are now mourning the loss of their coach and the funeral will be on Sunday at 3pm.
The north London club subsequently decided to cancel their press conference with Conte on Thursday morning.
