One of football’s most powerful agents Mino Raiola has died at the age of 54, his family announced on Saturday.
“In infinite sorrow, we share the passing of the most caring and amazing Football Agent that ever was,” the Italian’s family said in a message on Twitter.
“Mino fought to the end with the same strength he put on negotiation tables to defend our players. As usual, Mino made us proud and never realised it.”
Raiola’s family did not say from what illness he had been suffering but he had been at Milan’s San Raffaele hospital where he had previously survived scares.
His death comes two days after Italian media reported he had died only for his agency, the head of San Raffaele’s intensive care department and eventually the man himself to deny he had passed away.
Raiola built up a glittering portfolio of players, which also included Paul Pogba, Erling Haaland and AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, over a long career as both one of the sport’s most influential agents and most controversial characters.
However, his players consistently spoke highly of the man who guided their careers and filled their bank accounts with huge sums.
“Shall I spell it out here? Mino is a genius,” Ibrahimovic wrote in his 2011 autobiography.
