Bologna chief Pantaleo Corvino has paid tribute to super agent Enzo Bronzetti.

Bronzetti has passed away at the age of 68.

"I knew him when he was working at Foggia and Cavese and we always kept in touch even when he started working as an intermediary," Corvino told Tuttomercatoweb.com.

"He was a true man of football. I'm very sorry for his loss. Always friendly, when I was in Spain, Ernesto invited me to sleep at his house.

"As a football connoisseur there was no question, he had the ability to bring to Italy three Ballon d'Ors: Figo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho."

Close friend Carlo Ancelotti also paid tribute.

“Today a man of football has gone, but above all a dear friend," wrote Ancelotti on Twitter.
