Italian football is in mourning: Andrea Capone has died. Evidence points to a tragic accident.
Sad news from Italy: Former professional soccer player Andrea Capone died in a tragic accident. Several Italian media report this unanimously. Capone’s former club Cagliari Calcio confirmed the reports. He was only 43 years old.
The ex-footballer is said to have been found lifeless in his hotel room in Cagliari on Sunday morning after attending a christening party on Saturday, it is said. He then sustained a head injury in the five-star hotel “Palazzo Tirso”. This indicates that Capone could have fallen.
Between 2000 and 2010, the offensive player played in Serie A, B and C in Italy. Capone played for Cagliari Calcio for the longest time. He donned the Sardinian club’s jersey a total of 123 times and contributed significantly to the team’s promotion to Serie A under captain Gianfranco Zola in the 2003/2004 season. Capone had a special relationship with Cagliari anyway. He was born in the city in 1981.
The Italian first division team reacted with corresponding shock to Capone’s death on Sunday. The club wrote: “The bond with his homeland will remain indestructible for a young man who has always been known for his professionalism, his commitment and his passion. Qualities that will remain in the hearts of all those who were lucky enough to knowing him, meeting him on and off the pitch.” Cagliari Calcio hugs Capone’s family “in this moment of deep sadness. Rest in peace, Andrea,” the club said in its statement.
