"The world stands still"
Automatically saved draft
Huge grief for Christian Ziege: the 1996 European champion mourns the death of his wife Pia. As the German announced on social media, she died on Monday after a long and serious illness.
"And there are always traces of your life, thoughts, pictures, moments. They will remind us of you, make us happy and sad and never let us forget you," the 52-year-old wrote on his latest Instagram post. He also added several pictures of him and his Pia.
"Our world has stood still since November 4. Pia has closed her eyes forever after a long and serious illness," Ziege said. "We would like to thank everyone who has walked this long and difficult path with us, as well as for the great sympathy and compassion. Pia, you will live on forever in our hearts."
The couple had been married for 27 years and had two children. In addition to his European Championship title, Ziege was both German and Italian champion and won the UEFA Cup twice. Most recently, he was sports director at Salzburg regional league club FC Pinzgau Saalfelden.
