Schillaci was top scorer at Italia 90 with six goalsHe played for clubs including Inter and Juventus
Tributes have been paid to Salvatore Schillaci after the former Italy forward died at the age of 59. Schillaci became synonymous with Italia 90, scoring six goals to win the Golden Boot, and will be remembered as the face of the tournament.
Schillaci, whose clubs included Juventus and Inter, was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022 and taken to hospital in Palermo last week. Inter said he made an “entire nation dream during the magic nights of Italia 90” and Juventus referenced that World Cup in their tribute.
