Manninger will be remembered by Juventus and Bologna before kick-off | OneFootball

There will be several initiatives to remember Alex Manninger this evening, because the goalkeeper represented both Juventus and Bologna during his Serie A career.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

There will be a minute’s silence before kick-off and Juventus wear black armbands to remember former goalkeeper Manninger, who died this week in a car accident in Austria at age 48.

He wore their jersey from 2008 to 2012, winning the Scudetto, and the Bianconeri will have footage of his performances on the big screens before the match.

His shirt is hanging in the locker room: ‘Always with us’ and the Juve goalkeepers will wear it during the warm-up.

Manninger was also on the Bologna books from 2003 to 2005, even if he only made four appearances, as there were loan spells at Brescia and Siena during that period.

Much of his career was in Italy, also representing Torino, Fiorentina and Udinese, while his other clubs were Arsenal, Espanyol, RB Salzburg, Augsberg and Liverpool.

The goalkeeper made 137 Serie A appearances, along with 45 in the Austrian Bundesliga, 39 in the Premier League, and 36 in the German Bundesliga.
