A dark day for italian (the real italian one) futsal. One of the historical players of the country is gone. We refer to the talented Gino Palumbo, who has passed away at the end of a long disease. Palumbo was a great player in the 90's with the impressive Città di Palermo ("Ciccio" Coppola, "Ciccio" Messina, Rizzo, Versaggio, Vassallo, Visconti, Arcilesi, Minardo and Testagrossa... what a team), then a talented coach. Italian futsal lost today another piece of its true face. He will be missed.

Futsalplanet.com staff is close to Gino's family in this hard moment.
