Life

Footballer career

Stefano Borgonovo began his career at Como Calcio , where he was under contract from 1981 to 1986. In the 1984/85 season he was loaned to Sambenedettese .

In the summer of 1986, the 22-year-old moved to AC Milan , from which he was loaned to Como Calcio for two years. The 1988/89 season Borgonovo spent on loan at Fiorentina , where he made the breakthrough in Italy's top division with 14 goals in 30 Serie A games under Sven-Göran Eriksson . In the spring of 1989 the striker came under Azeglio Vicini in the friendlies against Denmark , Austria and Romania to his only three senior international matches for Italy .

The Italian returned to Milan in the summer of 1989 . Although he was unable to assert himself as a regular under coach Arrigo Sacchi , Borgonovo achieved the greatest success of his career in 1989/90 when he won the European Cup . In the summer of 1990 he won the World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup before he finally moved to Fiorentina at his own request.

At Fiorentina , Borgonovo failed to follow in the big footsteps of Roberto Baggio , who had migrated to Juventus Turin , as he was unable to build on previous performances after a serious knee injury. For the 1992/93 season , the striker moved to league rivals Pescara Calcio , with whom he in the Serie B relegation. During the winter break of the 1993/94 season Borgonovo Pescara left for Udinese Calcio , where he suffered his second descent to Serie B despite five goals in twelve games.

1994/95 Stefano Borgonovo was under contract with Brescia Calcio . For the Lombards , he completed 14 Serie A games without being able to score a goal. At the end of the season he had to go to Serie B with the club for the third time in two years. The striker ended his active career at the end of the 1995/96 season , which he again spent at Udinese, who had meanwhile been promoted back to Italy's top division.

Major illness

After finishing his career, Borgonovo fell ill with the incurable nervous disease ALS in 2006 . In 2008, Borgonovo founded the Stefano Borgonovo Foundation , which supports research into the causes of the disease. Despite his serious illness, Borgonovo managed to write his autobiography, called "Attacante nato" (The Born Striker), using a computer with his eyes. In the book, he also talks about his attitude towards drugs.

The suspicion that the condition was the long-term effects of drug abuse or doping during his active time was expressed in November 2010 in a television report on the ARD's European magazine . In this, Borgonovo denied having ever doped. He took anti-inflammatory drugs for muscle problems . A few months before his death, Borgonovo joined the FIFA anti-doping campaign.
