He had discovered a few days ago that he was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia.
“We are devastated to announce the passing of our athletic trainer – writes the Tottenham -. Gian Piero joined the club in November 2021, as part of Antonio Conte’s staff, having previously held roles at Juventus, Catania, JS Suning, GZ Evergrande and AC Ajaccio. As amiable as he was off the pitch he was very demanding and quickly became an extremely popular figure among the players and staff. He will be greatly missed by all. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.”
“One of the historic names of our club at the turn of the century has passed away – writes instead the Juventus -. Ventrone worked with Mister from 1994 to 1999 Lippi, helping to build and take care of a Juve that has won everything, in Italy and in Europe. He then returned to Turin from 2001 to 2004, enriching his (and our) list of victories".
“An innovative method, a treatment of physical condition inspired by modern criteria, which has made history in Italy and abroad: Ventrone was, always with Lippi, in the staff of theItaly World Champion 2006, and continued to enrich his career with important experiences, in France, China and England, where he lived his last adventures. We will always remember his discreet figure, his attention to detail, his work philosophy, and above all what was perhaps his greatest talent: understanding how football (and therefore one of its fundamental components, physical and athletic fitness) was gradually entering a new era. A new era that, in part, he helped to write. Goodbye, Gian Piero”, concludes the Juventus.
