. Vialli announced in December that he was stepping away from his role with the Italian national federation for health reasons after consultation with his oncologists. Vialli had publicly struggled with cancer for years. He first announced that he’d been treated in 2018 but said he was ‘very well’ in an interview with an Italian newspaper. Another bout with the disease swiftly followed in 2019, before his former team Chelsea announced he’d been ‘given the all-clear’ in 2020.
During his four seasons with the Turin-based club, Vialli enjoyed more success, winning the Serie A title again, as well as the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. He still remains the last Juventus captain to lift the Champions League trophy, something he said means a lot to him personally.
Sad!
