5pm – The words of Giorgia Meloni “Mihajlovic has left a message in the world, not just football. A figure like that of Sinisa Mihajlovic is courage. Courage carries with it a teaching that Mihajlovic knew how to give, and it is the reason why he was respected by the people who supported the teams but also by those who supported him. Life is a battle and you have to know how to fight it, he did it with honor and with respect for the rules: he did it in his football life, in his life as a man and in the fight against the disease, right up to the end. This is something worth emphasizing, because it is a great teaching beyond the role Mihajlovic had in society. You can be a coach, a soccer player, you can be many things. The point is that when you have an influence on others, the way you lead your life you transfer it to others and he knew how to do it and that’s why it’s worth thanking him”.
