Gianluca Vialli left his job with the national team to overcome a dangerous disease.
Gianluca Vialli was forced to fight cancer for the second time in his life. As a result, the legendary former Sampdoria, Juventus and Chelsea striker was forced to leave his position in the Italian national team. This was reported by The Guardian.
Note that in 2019, Vialli accepted his friend Roberto Mancini’s offer to be his assistant at the Squadra Azzurra. At that time, the ex-footballer had cancer once and was able to overcome a fatal illness, but what happened, only temporarily.
In December 2021, Vialli admitted that he was battling pancreatic cancer for the second time. Now, the 58-year-old Italian is forced to quit his job because he needs medical treatment.
“At the end of long and difficult negotiations with my excellent team of oncologists, I have decided to temporarily put my current and future professional commitments on hold.
The goal is to use all my strength to help my body cope with this phase of illness so that I can face new adventures as soon as possible and share them with all of you,” Vialli said in a statement.
