Juventus expresses its condolences for the passing of Alexander Manninger. | OneFootball

All of Juventus, its fans, and the entire football world today mourn the loss of Alexander Manninger, who has tragically passed away at the age of 48.

Having arrived in Turin in the summer of 2008, he was with Juventus for four seasons, demonstrating that the role of goalkeeper is not just about making saves, but also about charisma, reliability, and a quiet spirit of sacrifice.

In an era marked by the monumental presence of Gigi Buffon, Manninger knew how to be ready whenever called upon, becoming a key figure in the locker room and a safe bet between the posts.

Today we bid farewell not only to a great athlete, but to a man of rare values: humility, dedication, and an uncommon professionalism.

Juventus extends its deepest sympathies to Alex's family and all his loved ones in this moment of profound grief.

GIORGIO CHIELLINI'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE

"Today is a very sad day; we are losing an exemplary teammate and a truly valuable person.

Goodbye Alex, rest in peace. Our deepest thoughts are with your family."
