Mourning in Italian football and the Fiorentina family: Celeste Pin found dead at 64

Italian football and the Fiorentina community are in mourning, as the legendary Celeste Pin was found dead at his home on Tuesday, July 22, at the age of just 64

Newsroom July 23 12:38

According to Italian reports, a relative discovered the former Fiorentina star’s lifeless body at his residence in Tuscany and alerted the authorities. Early indications suggest that Pin may have taken his own life.

The former central defender was a symbol of Fiorentina, wearing the club’s jersey for nine years and even playing alongside the team’s current coach, Stefano Pioli. The club paid tribute to Pin with a heartfelt message:

“President Commisso, his wife Catherine, General Manager Alessandro Ferrari, Sporting Director Daniele Pradè, Coach Pioli, and the entire Fiorentina team share in the grief of the Pin family and extend their deepest condolences for Celeste’s passing.”
