What happened to Giancarlo Antognoni, he’s 69: the World Cup, the heart attack, Fiorentina, his wife, Paolo Rossi

He celebrates his 69th birthday today, April 1 Giancarlo Antognoni, the unforgettable captain and flag of Fiorentina, world champion in 1982 and midfielder who marked an era in Italy between the seventies and eighties. Antognoni at the end of a long and successful career, characterized by even serious injuries, was coach and manager, again for Viola, until his inclusion in the Hall of Fame of Italian football in 2018, as an Italian Veteran, witness and promoter of the sports values. An eternal number 10 still remembered today with great affection, also for some of his famous phrases such as, above all: You can also win two championships and two Champions Cups but then what do you have left? Your name in the almanacs… Better to be remembered as someone who has never betrayed Florence and Fiorentina.
