Deaths of notable Italian football personalities

Overview

In July 2026, former Serie D midfielder Pierpaolo Pucci, aged 75, passed away after a brief illness. Pucci had a long career as a player for clubs such as Barga, Montecatini, Castelnuovo, Carrarese and Lucchese, and later served as a director and youth coach for Lucchese, US Castelnuovo Garfagnana and Ghiviborgo. Tributes highlighted his dedication to local football.

Less than a month later, on 6 August 2026, Giuseppe “Pippo” Marchioro died at 90. Marchioro was celebrated for guiding Cesena to a historic sixth‑place Serie A finish and a UEFA Cup berth in 1975‑76, as well as achieving multiple promotions with Como, Reggiana and other clubs. The football community, including SSC Napoli’s president and coach Massimiliano Allegri, mourned his loss.

Both deaths prompted widespread remembrance of their contributions to Italian football, underscoring the passing of two influential figures within weeks of each other.
