The Italian media report that Mr. Rossi suffered from an incurable disease, but they do not specify it.
Rossi became a true Italian hero in 1982, when he helped the country’s national team to become world champion of the Spanish championships.
During the 1982 Championship, Mr. Rossi scored 6 goals, became the most productive player in the tournament and was voted the best footballer in the championship.
He scored two goals in the semi-final match with Poland (2: 0) and one in the final match with the then West German team (3: 1).
Rossi spent most of his football career as a member of the Juventus team in Turin, and twice became champion of Italy.
In the 1980s, he was embroiled in a gambling scandal that shook Italy and was disqualified for several years, although he never admitted guilt and is considered the victim of adverse circumstances.
Rossi is the second famous world champion to die in the last two weeks. Diego Maradona, the country’s soccer icon, died in Argentina in late November.
