Former Italian footballer and former coach Mario Corso , a historic Inter Milan player of Helenio Herrera , with whom he twice conquered the European Cup , has died at the age of 78 after several days admitted to a hospital, confirmed on Saturday the transalpine club.

"Mario Corso, Inter player, eternal champion with infinite class , has left. With his left he captivated the world in a team that marked an era. The thoughts and affection of all of us go to the family at this difficult time", wrote the club on the social network Twitter.

Corso played almost his entire career as a footballer at Inter (1957-73), whom he also trained in the 1985-86 season. During his 16 seasons as a 'nerazzurro', led by Helenio Herrera and together with the Spanish and Ballon d'Or winner Luis Suárez , he managed to conquer Series A four times, twice the European Cup (1964 and 1965) and others two the Intercontinental (1964 and 1965).

Thus, he finished with 95 goals in 509 games before ending his career at Genoa (1973-75). After that, he began his career on the bench and directed, in addition to Inter, Lecce, Catanzaro, Mantova and Barletta. In addition, he went international with Italy on 23 occasions and scored 4 goals.

Inter president between 1995 and 2013, Massimo Moratti , regretted the loss of the midfielder. "Pelé said that he would have wanted it in his Brazil; this is so that the young people understand the scope of my friend's class. He was my favorite at 'Grande Inter', my father also adored him and was always close to our family. Superfine technique, time trial game ... It was a pleasure to see him play, "he told the Italian agency ANSA.
