Legendary footballer Sinisa Mihajlovic has sadly passed away at the age of 53 after a battle with cancer.
The former AC Milan and Serbia head coach had been fighting leukemia but has sadly lost his fight as his death was confirmed on Friday. Mihajlovic was originally diagnosed with a particularly severe form of the disease in 2019 and underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant in an effort to fight it.
However, having suffered a relapse, he revealed in March he was set to undergo further treatment in hospital. Speaking at a press conference, he said: "My recovery after the transplant [of bone marrow in 2019] was great, but unfortunately, these diseases are devious.
