Nekdanji italijanski nogometni trener v Serie A Emiliano Mondonico, ki je sedel na klopi Torina, Fiorentine, Napolija in Atalante, je umrl v 72. letu starosti, potem ko je izgubil dolgo bitko z rakom, je danes sporočila njegova družina.
Največji uspeh Mondonica je bil, ko je popeljal Torino leta 1992 v finale pokala Uefa, leto pozneje pa je z njim osvojil italijansko prvenstvo in pokal.
Med igralsko kariero od 1966 do 1979 je nosil drese Torina, Monze, Atalante in svojega lokalnega moštva, Cremone.
Zbolel je leta 2011, ko so mu diagnosticirali raka.
Sad news to start this morning as former Toro coach Emiliano Mondonico has passed away following a long battle with cancer.
