Gian Piero Ventrone
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the death of fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone aged 61.
Ventrone was a key member of Antonio Conte’s backroom staff — nicknamed “the Marine” for his notoriously intense sessions — and joined the club in November 2021 when his fellow Italian became head coach.
“We are devastated to announce that fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone has passed away,” a statement from Tottenham said.
“As loveable off the pitch as he was demanding on it, Gian Piero quickly became a hugely popular figure with players and staff.

Ventrone previously held roles at Juventus, Catania, JS Suning, GZ Evergrande and AC Ajaccio.
