Three years without Sinisa Mihajlovic: wife Arianna’s moving tribute | OneFootball

On December 16, 2022, Sinisa Mihajlovic left us at just 53 years old, leaving a huge void in the world of football and in the lives of those who loved him.

Three Years Without Sinisa Mihajlovic: The Emotional Tribute from His Wife Arianna

Three years later, his wife Arianna remembers him with an Instagram post that deeply touched fans and friends: “Do not cry for his absence, feel him close and keep talking to him. He will love you from heaven as he loved you on earth. Today, 3 years without you, my love.”.

A Memory That Goes Beyond Time

Mihajlovic’s passing has not erased his presence in the hearts of those who knew or admired him. An extraordinarily talented player, able to transform himself from a left winger to a central defender with great ease, Sinisa left his mark on every team he played for. His left foot remains to this day a symbol of his technical talent, as does his ability to read and change the course of matches when he transitioned to his coaching career.

An Unforgettable Coach and Leader

At the helm of Bologna and other teams, Mihajlovic proved to be much more than a motivator: a coach capable of understanding the game, leading the team, and transmitting strength and courage even in the most difficult moments. His personal experience, from the events of the war in Yugoslavia to his battle against illness, made him a true warrior. Even during his illness, he never stopped being there for his team: he followed matches from the hospital, gave instructions over the phone, and showed up on the bench despite the doctors’ advice.

The Legacy of Sinisa

Sinisa Mihajlovic left an indelible mark not only in sports, but in the lives of those who met him. His death made “a deafening noise inside every heart,” because he was an extraordinarily vibrant person, able to teach what courage is, love for life, and passion for what you love.

Three years after his passing, Arianna’s message reminds us to continue to feel him close, to keep talking to him, and to keep his memory alive. Sinisa remains an example of strength, talent, and humanity that transcends time and distance.
