Genoa in lutto: morto Sidio Corradi, il George Best del Grifone aveva 80 anni

Overview

  • Genoa announced Corradi’s overnight death at 80 after a long illness.
  • The club said it has asked Lega Serie A to approve black armbands, a minute of silence, flowers under the Gradinata Nord, and a public salute to his family before tonight’s match against Lecce.
  • Reports did not specify whether the league has granted the requests.
  • Corradi helped drive Genoa’s rise from Serie C to Serie A and, with Marco Rossi, is among the only players to score for the club in all three divisions.
  • He debuted in Serie A with Bologna, was part of the 1963–64 scudetto squad, made a reported 129 Genoa appearances with 36 goals, and later coached the club’s Primavera.
