Former Inter and Italy star Mazzola, widely regarded as one of Italy’s greatest players, passed away on Saturday at the age of 83 due to an illness’
“FC Internazionale Milano, its President Giuseppe Marotta, Vice President Javier Zanetti, head coach Cristian Chivu and his staff, the players, and everyone at Inter mourn with profound sorrow the passing of Sandro Mazzola, a Nerazzurri and world football legend, and embrace his family as they remember him,” Inter wrote in a statement.
“The desire to remember is mixed with a sense of restraint: how difficult it is to find the right words to say goodbye to someone who truly wrote history, leaving a permanent and unprecedented mark.
“And then there is the melancholy that is already here and will never leave us, because we can still picture him here, between the Club headquarters and Appiano, recalling Puskas, Herrera, Suarez and Corso, one anecdote after another, immediately linking them to the present, with his passion for Inter shining in his eyes, talking about Lautaro and our Inter, the team of today and the team of always.
