TURIN. The former Spanish footballer and coach Luis Del Sol has died at the age of 86. A legend of Betis of Seville – who announced his death – who played from 1962 to 72 also in Italy, with the shirts of Juventus and Rome. In Juventus for eight seasons, in Turin the midfielder, who had earned the nickname of “Il postino” for his ability to cover the field, was a point of reference for the young Beppe Furino. Then, for two years, he was captain of Roma. One of the stars, dedicated to the most representative footballers in Juve history, who embellish the Allianz Stadium is named after him.
In Spain he played, before moving to Italy, with Betis and Real Madrid. With Spain he was European champion in 1964. These are the words with which the Sevillian club broke the news on Twitter: «Real Betis Balompié is saddened by the death of Mr. Luis Del Sol Cascajares, the greatest legend in our history . Rest in peace”.
