Mino Raiola was one of the most powerful agent in the world of football and famously clashed with Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. He represented Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland and AC Milan Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
In a statement posted on Twitter, the Mino family said “Mino touched so many lives through his work and wrote a new chapter in history of modern football. His presence will be forever missed”.
They added “Mino fought until the end with the same strength he put on negotiation table to defend our players.
”Mino’s mission of making football a better place for players will continue with the same passion,” the family added.
He is understood to have been suffering from a recent illness. His death had been mistakenly been reported to have died on Thursday, something which the family had to contradict at the time.
In his defence of his player’s interest the agent was notorious for igniting the fury of fans and of managers, Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep GuardIola and Jurgen Klopp.
