Former Italian soccer star Gianluca Vialli has died from cancer at the age of 58, Italian news agency ANSA said on Friday.
Vialli, who enjoyed a stellar career with Sampdoria, Juventus and Chelsea and earned 59 caps for Italy, was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017. He was given the all-clear a year later only for the illness to return.
