The CST is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Chelsea legend Gianluca Vialli.

Gianluca joined the club in 1996 as a player and later became manager.

He was a foundational pillar of restoring the club’s identity and led the club to win the FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

Even after his time at Chelsea, Gianluca was Chelsea through and through. He was a frequent visitor to Stamford Bridge and he was loved by everyone at our football club.

The thoughts of the CST board & all our members around the globe are with Gianluca’s family at this difficult time.

Thank You, Gianluca. We will miss you 💙
