The soccer world mourns the passing of Bruno Pizzul. The historic sports commentator and narrator of the Italian national team for many years left us in the past few hours. So many are the memories, from colleagues and sports personalities who knew him.
Thus came the words of Fabio Capello, who worked with Bruno Pizzul for about two years: “He was a great football expert, we often didn’t even prepare, except in the minimum because we went almost by arm’s length, we were carried away by the match and by what we saw, then he was incredible – the coach immediately says -. I remember with great pleasure that working period, where I had the good fortune to know a very good person and have a friend. I am very saddened by his passing, he was really a good person, good and kind, as well as being a professional with flakes, in my opinion the best.”
Here comes the memory of the last shared commentary-the Cup Winners’ Cup final in Birmingham between Lazio and Mallorca-before his return to the Roma bench: “There was a little bit of movement around my person at that time, with Bruno we joked and we both knew it would end soon, but that was fate, also because I was fine there, I liked that job, but I preferred to go back to coaching, with the landing at Roma that experience ended but I remember it as one of the best things I did beyond soccer.”

Not everyone knows that Bruno Pizzul also played soccer-“We got along very well with him, Bruno had also been a professional soccer player, he played with Catania, then he got injured and changed careers, but the very fact that he had played soccer made him a sublime competency and he was really familiar and also good at understanding the moments of the game. I repeat he was a great man in my opinion, but the most beautiful thing he had was his normality and simplicity, and that made him exceptional.”
Bruno Pizzul will never be forgotten – “I had good times with him, we used to talk even outside of work. So many took up from him and his elegant way of telling not only soccer but sports in general, it was really a pleasure to be with him and chat about everything. A beautiful person and a professional with flair. He had the great gift of making a game understood even by those who followed soccer very little…”
