A really sad and heartbreaking update is coming in from the world of football ladies and gentlemen. Gianluca Vialli was one of the finest and most admired footballers that we have had in the globe earlier. He has represented Italy for the longest time and has been a legend in the true sense of the term. Be it during International matches for Italy or during local club matches, Gianluca Vialli has always put his best for his team. For the unversed, he had announced in the month of December 2022 that he was stepping away from his role with the Italian National Federation for health reasons. He was constantly in touch with oncologists. For the unversed, he had also struggled with cancer for many years and revealed that he was treated for the first time in 2018. He was 58 when he breathed his last. Last year, he had announced that the disease had returned.

Our sincere condolences to the entire family of the lost soul and may the departed soul rest in peace. For updates, stay tuned to IWMBuzz.com
