Former Palermo and Venezia president Maurizio Zamparini has passed away. He was 80.
Zamparini's family announced his passing this morning at the age of 80 after complications from surgery.
Zamparini guided the Sicilian club from 2002-18, helping them reach Serie A for the first time in 31 years, qualify for Europe five times, and get to the Italian Cup final in 2011.
He previously owned Venezia, who he led from the fourth tier to Serie A promotion in 1997.
"The Palermo family is united in its pain for the passing of Zamparini, the most decorated president in Rosanero history, who is always in the heart of every fan," Palermo said on their website.
