Former Italian footballer Toto Schillaci died at the age of 59

One of Italy's soccer icons, Salvatore Schillaci, or Toto Schillaçi, as he was otherwise known, has passed away after a few days of battle in the hospital.

He had undergone two operations for colon cancer, but this time he could not survive this disease at the age of 59.

Schillaci will be remembered for a long time for the 1990 World Championship held in Italy, as he started as a substitute with the axurres but as soon as he touched the green field he did not come out.

In that World Cup he scored 6 goals, helping Italy to take 3rd place, while at the club level he played with teams like Juventus and Inter, but he left the most mark with Messina where he played for 7 seasons.
