Italian football is in mourning.
Details: Today, it was announced that 39-year-old former central defender of Inter Milan, Cremonese, and SPAL, Nicolas Giani, has passed away after a grueling fight against an incurable illness.
In 2022, Giani was forced to retire to begin treatment for a serious disease, but today it was reported that the illness proved stronger.
Nicolas was born in 1986 in Como and, as a product of Inter Milan's youth academy, played several matches for the "Nerazzurri" youth teams, as well as making 9 appearances for the senior squad and even scoring once. He later moved to Cremonese, where he played just one match.
Giani played the bulk of his career with Vicenza and SPAL.
In total, he made 481 professional appearances, scoring 17 goals and providing 6 assists.
Rest in peace, Giani.
