AC Milan legend and Napoli manager, Gennaro Gattuso loses 37-year old sister
Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso’s sister, Francesca, has died at the age of 37.
She had been in intensive care since February after falling ill and reportedly requiring ‘urgent surgery.’
AC Milan, where she worked as a secretary, tweeted on Tuesday: ‘Francesca Gattuso faced her illness with the same strength and energy she brought to Milanello and AC Milan every day.
‘Rino, the immense pain you and your family are feeling is also ours. Rest in peace, dear Francesca.’
She was rushed to a hospital in Busto Arsizio, 20 miles west of Milan in northern Italy.
Gattuso raced to be by his sister’s side, missing the post-match press-conference after Napoli beat Sampdoria in early February.
He learned the news while taking Napoli’s training session at Castel Volturno, ahead of the Serie A season restart later this month.
