Mourning in Colombian soccer. This Thursday Ricardo Manuel Ciciliano, who had been fighting pneumonia for several weeks, passed away.
The ex-footballer who was champion with him Tolima and with him Cali, and went through Millionaires, Junior, Once Caldas, Pasto, Quindío, Bucaramanga and Huila, unfortunately died at the age of 43 after complications from pneumonia for which he had to be admitted to the ICU of the La Asunción Clinic in Barranquilla on September 6.

Ciciliano began to stand out in football in 1993, when he was part of the team that won the South American Under-17 that year, led by Germán ‘Basílica’ González.
That same year he made his professional debut at Deportivo Pereira. Then he passed through Tolima, Bucaramanga, Pasto and Quindío, before returning to Ibagué, where he was a key piece for the first title of the vinotinto y oro in A, in 2003.
From Tolima he went to Cali, where he was also crowned champion of the League, in 2005-II. Then he was hired by Millonarios, a club in which he scored two milestones: the first, he saved a penalty against Jaime Castrillón, in the home runs of the 2006-II League.

That team qualified for the South American Cup and reached the semifinals of the tournament, a phase in which América de México eliminated it. Ciciliano was the top gunner of that contest, with six annotations.
Another crazy party. Sudamericana 2007. Vanemerak Millionaires. 10/24. São Paulo attacked. Blandón was getting bigger. Ciciliano figure. That night the drink at Galerías ended. pic.twitter.com/9oIl1pN76f
