Football agent Mino Raiola dies after illness / not dead / who knows?

[FootyGirl88]

Omg that’s so sad may he rest in peace, say what you want about him but he was bloody good at his job.

 

[golden_blunder]

Wait.. what!?

RIP obviously

what does this mean to deals like Haaland? It was only a few days ago that it was reported he met him in Monaco

 

[Cutch]

RIP. Was obviously outstanding at what he was paid by his clients to do

Wow, this is quite shocking...

Hopefully he got the chance to say goodbye to his family.

 

[RoyH1]

54. Way too young. RIP.

 

[Ted1985]

RIP. Great agent

 

[Okey]

Gosh that's some terrible news! So sudden too. Rest in peace Mino.

 

[The Original]

The best at what he did. His work will be studied in management classes for decades.

Rip.

 

[Red the Bear]

Oh no, rip.

We gave him a lot of shitvbut he was food at his job and his clients liked him, that's the sign of a competent man.

Again rip.

Edit: this actually makes me sad, I will miss his persona and obviously he left too soon, very harsh for his family.

 

[Kaos]

Wow, I had no idea he was seriously ill, what a shock. RIP.

 

[James35]

RIP. 54 is no age.

 

[VorZakone]

Wow, unexpected!

 

[horsechoker]

I feel sorry for him and his family but as a professional he worsened the sport of football.

I wouldn't wish death upon him but I'm glad he's not a part of football anymore.

 

[Flexdegea]

Whole new market has just opened up for the club

 

[Samid]

High stress job with his condition and also a chain smoker. Not a great combination.

 

[MadDogg]

Wow.

I know at least some of his clients absolutely loved him and felt he was more of a family friend than an agent. Not sure if he was like that with all of them, but it's got to be difficult for any of them.

 

[lefty_jakobz]

RIP

Didnt know he was ill. Sad day for his family and clients. As much as he was disliked by clubs he was a great agent for his players.

 

[hasanejaz88]

He and Mendes changed the game for agents and player power. RIP, wonder how this will impact the summer window with Haaland being a big name.

 

[Ali Dia]

Wow that’s quite shocking.

 

[crossy1686]

fecking hell, shocking news. 54 is no age, well wishes to his family and close one's.

 

[STaphouse]

He had the whole football world on absolute strings.

RIP.

 

[Mb194dc]

RIP, just shows how precious life is. 54 way too young.

Doesn't matter how much you've got materially. Death comes for everyone.

 

[LARulz]

What the actual feck?!

RIP

 

[Adisa]

Jesus! RIP

 

[crossy1686]

Wait.. what!?

RIP obviously

what does this mean to deals like Haaland? It was only a few days ago that it was reported he met him in Monaco

His agency will probably run most of the details on these deals, he was just the face who turned up to throw chairs and make demands most likely.

 

[lysglimt]

I never liked him - but he didnt deserve this. RIP

 

[Red the Bear]

I feel sorry for him and his family but as a professional he worsened the sport of football.

I wouldn't wish death upon him but I'm glad he's not a part of football anymore.

I don't, he did what his clients wished and did it well.

 

[do.ob]

He may not have been the most well liked person among fans, but in his own way he was an icon of the football business and characters like his made the whole circus much more interesting.

 

[Goldfiessli]

Awful news.

 

[DRJosh]

This news makes football seem so inconsequential. Rest In Peace Raiola.

 

[The Taurean]

Woah. Shocking news. Condolences to his family.

 

[Jeppers7]

The absolute boss of player agents. Such a shock. RIP Mino

 

[RedRonaldo]

A total shock, didn’t really see this coming… well nevertheless he is still a wonderful/legendary agent for his clients… RIP

 

[JB08]

fecking hell.

RIP

 

[gajender]

RIP .

 

[We need an rvn]

Clubs probably hated working with him, the players loved him because he got them what they deserved. At the end of the day, football at this level is a business and he was a master.

rip

 

[Bwuk]

RIP.

Would imagine this will have quite a large knock on effect on the market this summer.

 

[Tom Cato]

Shellshocking news. RIP Mino Raiola.

 

[Gehrman]

Holy feck. Rip
