Vialli scored 16 goals in 59 caps for Italy, helping them reach the semi-finals of the 1988 European Championship.
However, he is arguably best known for spearheading Sampdoria’s attack with Mancini between 1984 and 1992, a period which yielded the Blucerchiati’s only Scudetto in 1991 and a European Cup Final a year later.
It comes less than three months after the ex-Chelsea boss revealed he had battled cancer in secret.
