Farewell to a great striker, sudden grief in Italian soccer

by Mark

Bye bye to a great striker: after a career with around Italy and Europe, he decided to call it quits. At 40, no point in trying to move on

Very long career. Full of emotions and goals. But at a certain point you can’t go on, even your body tells you it’s over and it’s not right to force it any longer. On September 1, he will turn 40 years old. And that time has come for him as well.

Federico Piovaccari says goodbye to soccer played. After his last experience in Spain, at San Cristobal, also marked by a goal, as usual, on the last day of the championship. No more to give to soccer, no more training, matches, pre-match and recoveries. I am last to a very long career that as said was marked by many goals.

Piovaccari says goodbye, stop playing soccer

His career also touched many important places, a globetrotter: Steaua Bucharest, Eibar, Western Sidney, Cordoba, Zhejiang Yiteng and Rayo Vallecano, closing precisely in Catalonia with San Cristobal.


This, finally, is the message the player wanted to give to social media. Thus announcing the end of his important career: “The long-awaited moment has arrived: the time has come to say goodbye to professional soccer. It has been an incredible journey, made up of emotions, sacrifices and most of all so many joys. I would like to thank each and every teammate, coaches, staff members, warehouse workers and fans who have made this journey incredible. A special thanks goes to my entire family, my wife Elena and my children for their constant support and love at all times, without all of YOU I could not have achieved the successes I have been privileged to experience. Thank you all again for making this an unforgettable career
