Reason Behind the Death of Gianluca
Pancreatic cancer is the cause behind the death of Gianluca Vialli. Gianluca gained too much popularity in his career while he also got success as Chelsea’s Manager. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the year 2017. In 2020 he publicly announced that he had been given the all-clear from the treatment at Royal Marsden Hospital in London.
After some time, in 2021, he was again diagnosed with an illness, and at that time, he resigned from the head of the delegation for Italy’s national team. Last year before Christmas, an Italian newspaper claimed that his brother Nino and his mother Maria Teresa had travelled with him to a London hospital.
