The football world is coming together to support Serginho after he faced a devastating personal tragedy. The former Brazilian player, who enjoyed nine memorable seasons with AC Milan, has lost his son, Diego, who was only 20 years old.

On social media, many AC Milan fans have rallied to express their condolences and show their support for Serginho during this difficult time. The club also reached out with a heartfelt message on X, stating, “We send our deepest condolences to Serginho and his family for the tragic and untimely loss of his son, Diego.

Serginho’s football journey started in Brazil, where he played for teams such as Itaperuna, Bahia, Flamengo, and Cruzeiro. After a stint with São Paulo, he moved to Milan, where he achieved great success from 1999 to 2008, winning an array of titles. His trophy haul includes one Serie A title, one Coppa Italia, one Italian Supercup, two UEFA Champions League titles (in 2003 and 2007), two UEFA Super Cups, and a FIFA Club World Cup in 2007. Serginho ultimately retired from professional football in Milan in 2008.
