The famous coach Giovanni Galeone has died at the age of 84. He was hospitalized in Udine. He had been ill for some time before that. As a coach, he achieved four promotions: two with Pescara (1986-87 and 1991-92), one with Udine and one with Perugia.

He also managed Napoli, Como and Spal. His 4-3-3 formation was a model for many. He retired in 2013. In Pescara, he is a legend, think that even the train station was inaugurated and named in his presence. Meanwhile, he is also known for the conflicting relationships he has had with the presidents he worked for. Among them, the one with Scibilia and the very tense one with Gaucci.
