Inter Milan are mourning the loss of president Giacinto Facchetti, who died on Monday from cancer.
Facchetti, who was 64, was one of Inter’s greatest-ever players. He started out as a centre forward but was converted to an attacking full-back by coach Helenio Herrera and went on to score 60 goals – a Serie A record for that position.
He won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965 and claimed four Serie A titles in an illustrious career which also saw him make 94 appearances for Italy.
Facchetti succeeded Massimo Moratti as Inter president in January 2004.
