Gianluca Signorini (17 March 1960 – 6 November 2002) was an Italian football player, mostly known for his time spent at Genoa C.F.C.. ==Career== Born in Pisa, Signorini started his career playing for his home team, Pisa S.C. of Serie C1, and successively for Pietrasanta, Prato, Livorno, Ternana and Cavese before joining A.C. Parma, with Arrigo Sacchi as coach. He quickly became a key player for Parma, and was successively signed by Nils Liedholm's A.S. Roma, and then to Genoa in 1988, after personal requests by coach Francesco Scoglio. He played seven seasons for Genoa, all seven years as team captain, a hard defender and definitely a fan favourite. He is remembered as one of the last (and best) Italian sweepers. In recent years; he was a vital member of the Genoese "dream team" which managed to reach the semi-finals of the 1991–92 UEFA Cup and became the first Italian team to beat Liverpool F.C. on their Anfield Road home turf. He left Genoa in 1995, aged 35, to join his hometown club Pisa, then in Serie D, and retired two years later. He played 210 Serie A matches with 6 goals. After having ended his playing career, Signorini started a managing career working for Pisa, and serving as joint caretaker manager during their 1997–98 Serie C2 campaign,〔 However, he soon discovered he was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, an illness that slowly forced immobility, paralyzing all his muscles. He died on November 6, 2002, in his Pisa home. In his honour, the #6 Genoa CFC jersey, worn by Signorini during his time for the ''rossoblu'', has been retired. On May 17, 2009 Signorini's son Andrea, a footballer himself, made his Serie A debut with Genoa, thus continuing the legacy of the former ''rossoblu'' captain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gianluca Signorini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
