Francesco Sensi, the president of Italian football club AS Roma, died a couple of days ago of respiratory failure. He was 82.Mr Sensi had been club president of AS Roma since 1993. He is said to be really dedicated to his beloved club. He is a true Romanista, & Roma fans credit him as the man significantly responsible for helping bring success to the club.
During Sensi's presidency, AS Roma won 1 Serie A championship (2000/2001), 2 Italian Cups (2006/2007 & 2007/2008), & 2 Italian Super Cups (2000/2001 & 2006/2007). The Serie A championship success in 2000/2001 was particularly cherished by Sensi. After cross-city rivals Lazio won the Serie A in 1999/2000, Sensi splashed out big money to lure big-name players like Argentinians Gabriel Batistuta & Walter Samuel, & Brazilian Emerson to the club. That allowed Roma (who were then coached by Fabio Capello) to win the Serie A during the 2000/2001 season in fine style, ensuring that the trophy remained in the Italian capital.
No doubt Sensi will be sadly missed by his family, friends, loved one & the Roma fans. A great loss to Roma & Italian football.
RIP Francesco Sensi.
