Former Chelsea and Juventus star Gianluca Vialli has died at age 58 after dealing with cancer for five years.
Vialli was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017 and for a second time in 2021.
A statement from his family on Friday read: "Surrounded by his family, he passed away last night after five years of illness faced with courage and dignity.
"We thank the many who have supported him over the years with their affection. The memory of him and his example will live forever in our hearts."
Vialli was part of the coaching staff that led Italy to Euro 2020 success, but he left his role with the national team in December in order to undergo more treatment.
