“Radice above all left us the memory of winning the first European Cup in 1963 for both Milan and all Italian clubs, so he wrote an important page in the history of our football,” Scaroni told Sky Sport Italia.
While Radice spent most of his playing career at San Siro, it was with Torino that he had his greatest moments as a Coach.
“He won the last Scudetto in 1975-76, then finished second a year later,” explained Cairo.
“He was the longest-running Toro Coach, but was also a great innovator. He was the first Coach in Italy to play total football, to introduce pressing all over the field.
“Obviously, winning the first Scudetto since the 1940s of Il Grande Torino and making that Toro of the 1970s so remarkable places him as an icon for this club, a man who wrote history.”
