This past Tuesday, famed sports journalist Aldo Proietto passed away at the age of 78. Jorge Rizzo, his attorney, verified the information to the media.
The legendary journalist had a very lengthy career in the Argentine media and was well-versed in serving as a resource for other coworkers.
He became well-known among younger generations for his involvement with Fox Sports Radio, a prime time radio program. His career has already progressed in other well-known media.
Proietto served as the editor of the publications El Gráfico, Superfutbol, and contributed heavily to Goals. His persona was also the subject of debate and harsh criticism. He was currently a panelist on Radio 770's Cuatro de Copas show.
Jorge Rizzo, the host of the aforementioned radio program, was approached by Argentine media TN, and he acknowledged that Proietto was unwell even though he was on the air until Tuesday of last week.
He suffered a decompensation on Friday, required admission, and required intubation. The journalist's death was verified by his son.
Rizzo fired his buddy and coworker, writing in a poignant tweet that Aldo Proietto had just gone away: "The wonderful journalist and genius of cynicism and sarcasm, the instructor Aldo Proietto.
His "CUATROS DE COPAS" coworkers and friends lament his unreplaceable loss. Huge hugs go out to his family, friends, and children. Aldo, till we next cross paths.
The statement from Radio 700 read: "We grieve to announce the passing of the journalist Aldo Proietto, who was a longtime companion to our station. We offer his family and friends our deepest sympathies and support during this trying time.
