About Stefano Borgonovo
- Stefano Borgonovo (Italian pronunciation: ['ste?fano ?borgo'n??vo]; 17 March 1964 – 27 June 2013) was an Italian footballer and manager, who played as a striker.
- An opportunistic striker, Borgonovo played for several Italian clubs throughout his career, and came to prominence while playing alongside Roberto Baggio with Fiorentina during the 1988–89 season, on loan from Milan.
- His prolific performances with Fiorentina earned him a permanent move to Milan, where he contributed to the club's European Cup victory in 1990, despite struggling with injuries. Following his retirement, Borgonovo served as a youth coach with Como; after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, he started the Fondazione Stefano Borgonovo to raise funds and awareness of the disease.
- Until his death as a result of the illness in June 2013, he was also extremely active off the pitch in the fight against doping in football.
