'''Daniel Munthe Agger''' ({{IPA-da|danjəl ˈɑɡ̊ʌ|lang}}; born 12 December 1984) is a Danish [[association football|footballer]] who plays as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]] for [[Liverpool F.C.]] and captains the [[Denmark national football team]]. Agger is known as "a fine reader of the game, comfortable on the ball and blessed with a ferocious shot."<ref>{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Jonathan|title=Euro 2012: Denmark|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/jonathan_wilson/06/01/euro.2012.denmark.preview/index.html|publisher=Sports Illustrated|accessdate=5 June 2012}}</ref> He started his senior career at Danish club [[Brøndby IF]] in July 2004, with whom he won the 2005 [[Danish Superliga]] championship. The Liverpool fans have created a song for him to the tune of [[Agadoo]].

==Club career==
===Brøndby IF===

In July 2004, he was moved from the youth squad to the first team, following the departure of [[Sweden national football team|Swedish international]] defender [[Andreas Jakobsson]].
Daniel Agger quickly established himself not only as a first team regular, but as one of the key components in the team that won the [[2004–05 Danish Superliga]] championship.
Despite his relative youth, he played with great authority and class under the guidance of Brøndby [[Captain (association football)|team captain]] [[Per Nielsen]], and after the first half of the season Agger was named 2004 "talent of the year" by Spillerforeningen (the Danish equivalent of the [[Professional Footballers' Association|English PFA]]).

After the successful Superliga 2004–05 season, Agger was called up to the senior [[Danish national football team]] for the 1–0 friendly win against [[Finland national football team|Finland]] on 2 June 2005, playing the full match.
Agger spent the next national team match on the bench before playing the full 4–1 friendly win on 17 August 2005 over [[England national football team|England]] alongside Per Nielsen, where he caused problems for the English forwards, most notably [[Wayne Rooney]]. He played the whole 90 minutes in the next two national team matches, before an injury sustained in the [[2005–06 Danish Superliga]] season in September forced him out for the remainder of 2005. Only 20 years of age, Daniel Agger was awarded the Danish "talent of the year" of all sports on 6 December 2005.

===Liverpool===
==== 2006–07 season====

Agger was long linked to a transfer to a big club, and in the January 2006 [[transfer window]], Agger got his wish and was looking to join English [[Premier League]] team [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], the defending [[UEFA Champions League]] champions.<ref name="echo">Bascombe, Chris.

The [[Pound sterling|£]]6,000,000 [[transfer deal]] made him the most expensive footballer sold by a Danish club to a foreign club.<ref name="dr">{{da icon}} Jens Gjesse Hansen, [http://www.dr.dk/Sporten/Fodbold/Int.fodbold/2006/01/11/100306.htm Daniel Agger skifter til Liverpool]. [[Danmarks Radio]] (2006-01-11). Retrieved on 2008-12-19.</ref>

His first half season at Liverpool saw injuries limit him to four first-team appearances during Spring 2006. In May 2006, he played 10 games and scored 3 goals for the [[Denmark under-21 national football team|Danish under-21 national team]], for which he was selected to play in the [[2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2006 European Under-21 Championship]] tournament.

Agger played the full game as Liverpool won the 2006 [[FA Community Shield]]. Still adapting to the English game, he established himself in Liverpool's first team squad, competing with Liverpool vice-captain [[Jamie Carragher]] and former [[Finland national football team|Finnish]] team captain [[Sami Hyypiä]] for the two starting places in the central defence. Agger scored his first goal for Liverpool on 26 August 2006 in a 2–1 win against [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. Agger was allowed to run unchallenged toward the [[Spion Kop (stadia)|Kop]]-end goal and scored from {{convert|35|yd}} out. Liverpool manager [[Rafael Benítez]] commented he was not surprised and that Agger has frequently scored such goals in training.<ref name="lfc">Hunter, Steve (2006-08-26).

Agger scored his second goal for the club in a [[Football League Cup]] away game against [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] with a volley from close range during the seven minutes of first-half stoppage time. His third was against Arsenal, scoring a header in a 4–1 victory played on 31 March 2007. In the first semi-final of the [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07 Champions League]], Agger received some criticism as Liverpool lost to [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] 1–0, after Chelsea striker [[Didier Drogba]] managed to dribble past him before making the assist to win the game.<ref name="telegraph">Smith, Alan (2007-05-23). [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/05/02/sfnsmi02.xml Agger shows bottle to leave Drogba thirsty]. ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]''. Retrieved 2008-12-19</ref> In the second leg of the semi-finals, Agger answered his critics by scoring another curler from a smartly-taken [[Steven Gerrard]] free-kick from just outside the penalty area, and helping Liverpool keep a [[clean sheet]] as the team beat Chelsea 1–0 on 1 May 2007.<ref name="telegraph"/> He went on to play in the 2007 Champions League Final which Liverpool lost 2–1 to [[A.C. Milan|Milan]].

==== 2007–08 season ====

Agger started the 2007 pre-season in scoring fashion, scoring two goals in four games, including a left footed-finish against Hong Kong outfit [[South China AA|South China]]. However, he suffered a [[metatarsal]] injury in September, again losing his place to Hyypiä. In January 2008, Agger began training and was attempting to regain match fitness, however a recurrence of the injury in his second metatarsal again ruled him out of action. After being examined by several specialists, it was reported on [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]'s official website that Agger would miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his foot.

==== 2008–09 season ====

Agger returned to full training in the pre-season at Melwood and on 12 July 2008 Agger made his playing return as a substitute in Liverpool's friendly win over neighbours [[Tranmere Rovers]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Rice |first=Jimmy |title=Rafa: Agger loss cost us title shot |publisher=[[Liverpool F.C.]] |date=2008-07-03 |url=http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N160396080703-1152.htm |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref> Agger stated after the match: "I am almost starting my career at Liverpool all over again".<ref>{{cite web |last=Rice |first=Jimmy |title=Agger: It Feels Like A New Start |publisher=[[Liverpool F.C.]] |date=2008-07-14 |url=http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N160512080713-1814.htm |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref> Agger was in the starting line up in Liverpool's first game of the season against Standard Liège in the Champions League qualifiers. The game ended 0–0. Agger then found himself sidelined the rest of August and much of September, and was not even included in the squad to face Manchester United. This led to rumours of a verbal exchange between Agger and Liverpool manager Benítez. However, Benítez insisted that there was no rift between Agger and himself.<ref>{{cite web |title=Benitez plans Agger offer |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=2008-09-23 |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_4183848,00.html |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref>

After a month without playing, Agger returned to the starting line up against [[Crewe Alexandra F.C.|Crewe Alexandra]] in the Carling Cup. Agger played the full 90 minutes and marked his return by scoring the first goal from a free kick outside the box. Liverpool won the game 2–1.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hunter |first=Andy |title=Pope's fallibility spares 'best ever' Benítez an Anfield inquisition |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=2008-09-24 |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/sep/24/carlingcup.liverpool |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref>

Profiting in part from Škrtel's injury, Agger returned to the starting line up against Wigan for his first Premier League match of the season. Agger was, however, at least partly to blame for Wigan taking the lead when he lost the ball to Zaki after a pass from goalkeeper Reina. Agger redeemed himself by setting up Dirk Kuyt for the equaliser. Liverpool eventually won the match 3–2. On 11 April 2009, Agger scored the third goal for Liverpool from 30 yards against Blackburn Rovers. Liverpool went on to win 3–0. Agger celebrated, like the others who had scored in the match, by pointing to the sky in memory of victims in the [[Hillsborough disaster]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Burton |first=Chris |title=Kuyt inspires Reds revival |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=2008-10-18 |url=http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3003483,00.html |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref>

In May 2009, Agger signed a new five-year deal which if fulfilled, will see him remain with [[Liverpool F.C.]] until at least 2014.

==== 2009–10 season ====

Agger underwent surgery for a recurring back injury in August 2009 and made his return on 25 October 2009 for the 2–0 win over rivals [[Manchester United]] at [[Anfield]].

On 28 February 2010, Daniel Agger played his 100th competitive game for Liverpool, playing in the 2–1 home win against [[Blackburn Rovers]]. Agger played another 14 times in 2009–10, including scoring his 7th goal for the club, an outstanding backheel, against [[Benfica]] in the [[UEFA Europa League]] and also helped Liverpool reach the semi finals of the same competition.

====2010–11 season====

Agger appeared against [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] on 15 August 2010, but got concussed in the second half of the game. As a result of the concussion, he missed the next few games. He also had other injury problems which kept him out until December. [[Martin Skrtel]] was preferred rather than Agger under [[Roy Hodgson]] and he threatened to quit the club with [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] reportedly interested in him. Since the departure of Hodgson, he has featured in most of the games under [[Kenny Dalglish]], including the match against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] on 6 February 2011, with Liverpool winning 1–0. Agger was ruled out for the remainder of the season following a knee injury sustained in the match against [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Brom]] on Saturday 2 March 2011. He is considered to be Liverpools best attacking centre back and also one of the best in the squad at long range shooting as he has demonstrated previously. At the end of the season, he only managed 21 appearances for the Reds in all competitions.

====2011–12 season====
[[File:Daniel Agger 20111205.JPG|thumb|Agger warming up before facing [[Fulham FC|Fulham]]]]
On 1 August 2011, he scored two goals in a pre-season friendly against [[Vålerenga Fotball]], the first a powered header from a corner, the second a half-volley also from a corner.
Agger returned from injury against [[Rangers F.C.]] in a friendly match in which Liverpool lost 1–0. On 29 October 2011, Daniel Agger played his 100th Premier League game for [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in a 0–2 win against West Brom. He has not had major injuries so far and as a result has featured in most of the league games. Due to his solid performances, he has been regarded as one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League. He has rapidly become a firm fan-favourite amongst the Liverpool faithful playing regularly alongside fellow centre half [[Martin Skrtel]].

The Agger-Skrtel partnership is one of the best CB-pairings in the Premiership. On 28 January 2012, Agger opened the scoring against Manchester United in the fourth round FA Cup tie, defeating them 2–1. It was his first Liverpool goal since 2010, when he scored in the Europa League tie against Benfica. On 26 February 2012, he helped Liverpool to win their first trophy since 2006 as they won the [[2012 Carling Cup Final]] But injured his ribs during the match. On 7 April 2012, Agger made his return from injury as a second-half substitute against [[Aston Villa]] at [[Anfield]], by replacing [[Jose Enrique]] in a 1–1 draw. On 8 May 2012, Agger scored his first Premier League goal of the season in a 4–1 win against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] which was also the last home game of the season for Liverpool.

==Personal life==
Agger selected [[Volbeat (band)|Volbeat]]'s ''The Garden's Tale'' as his choice for the "LFC Athens 2007 Playlist" in the build up of Liverpool's [[2007 UEFA Champions League Final]] appearance.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rogers |first=Paul |title=A-Kop-olis now: LFC.tv's Athens diary |publisher=[[Liverpool F.C.]] |date=2007-05-21 |url=http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/archivedirs/news/2007/may/21/N155992070521-1807.htm |accessdate=2008-12-19}}</ref>

Daniel's younger cousin [[Nicolaj Agger]] is also a footballer who plays for [[Brøndby IF]].

In May 2010, Agger married girlfriend Sofie Nelson in Denmark. The couple wore matching white outfits for the wedding, before celebrating with a reception at the Nimb Hotel in Copenhagen.<ref>{{cite web |last=Jones |first=Laura |title=Liverpool FC's Daniel Agger weds girlfriend Sophie in Denmark as Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner watches on |work=[[Liverpool Daily Post]] |date=2010-05-18 |url=http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2010/05/18/liverpool-fc-s-daniel-agger-weds-girlfriend-sophie-in-denmark-as-arsenal-s-nicklas-bendtner-watches-on-92534-26466541/ |accessdate=2008-12-09}}</ref>
Daniel and his wife Sofie, have a son called Jamie.

Agger owns a pub with his uncle in Denmark.

==Tattoos==

Outside of football, Agger is a qualified [[tattoo]] artist<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/602082-liverpools-big-tattoo-artist-to-uniteds-smash-hit-what-footy-stars-get-up-to |title=Liverpool's big tattoo artist to United's smash hit – what footy stars get up to |publisher=Metro.co.uk |date=2009-03-30 |accessdate=2012-06-13}}</ref> and offered to tattoo the whole Liverpool squad with a special commemorative design should they win the Premier League title.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2353015/Daniel-Agger-will-tattoo-Liverpool-squad-if-they-win-the-league.html |title=Daniel Agger will tattoo Liverpool squad if they win the league |publisher=The Sun |date=2009-04-01 |accessdate=2012-06-13}}</ref> He himself has numerous tattoos including a [[Viking]] on his upper right arm, a large drawing of Vikings and a graveyard that spans his whole back,<ref>{{cite web|author=qui, 10/02/11 |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/platb/brasilmundialfc/2011/02/10/cemiterio-nas-costas/ |title=Brasil Mundial FC » Cemitério nas costas » Arquivo |publisher=Globoesporte.globo.com |date=2006-10-18 |accessdate=2012-06-13}}</ref> which includes his birth date and the Latin motto "[[List of Latin phrases (M)|Mors certa, hora incerta]]" ("death is certain, its hour is uncertain"), forming a [[memento mori]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2107122/Daniel-Agger-shows-latest-tattoo-Carling-Cup-win.html |title=Daniel Agger shows off latest tattoo after Carling Cup win |publisher=Dailymail.co.uk |date=2012-02-27 |accessdate=2012-06-13}}</ref> He also features an intricate band around his left elbow which includes the phrase "Succes er at leve som man selv vil" ("Success is to live as one wants").

{{Spanish name|Rondón|Giménez}}
'''José Salomón Rondón Giménez''' (born 16 September 1989 in [[Caracas]]) is a [[Venezuela]]n [[Association football|footballer]] who plays for [[Málaga CF]] in [[La Liga]], as a [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]].

==Club career==
===Early career===
Rondón made his debut in the [[Venezuelan Primera División|Venezuelan first division]] at the age of 17, appearing for [[Aragua FC]] against [[Carabobo FC]] on 8 October 2006. On 8 April of the following year, he scored his first goal(s) for the club, in a 2–2 draw against [[Caracas FC]].

In the summer of 2008, Rondón was signed by [[UD Las Palmas]] in [[Spain]], and made his debut on 16 August in a [[Exhibition game|friendly match]] with [[FC Barcelona B]]. His first official match came on 4 October as the [[Canary Islands]] side faced [[Deportivo Alavés]] in a [[Segunda División|second division]] game. Almost one year after his arrival, on 2 September 2009, he scored his first official goal, in a [[Copa del Rey]] [[2009–10 Copa del Rey|match]] against [[Cádiz CF]] – becoming the youngest foreign player to ever score for the club, at the age of 19 years, 11 months and 17 days.<ref>[http://www.laprovincia.es/deportes/2009/09/04/gol-extranjero-joven/255281.html El gol extranjero más joven (Youngest foreign goal)]; La Provincia, 4 September 2009 {{es icon}}</ref>– and finished the [[2009–10 Segunda División|2009–10 season]] with ten goals in 36 games, as Las Palmas barely avoided relegation.

===Málaga===
On 19 July 2010, [[Málaga CF]] signed Rondón for a record transfer fee of [[Euro|€]]3.5 million.<ref>[http://www.listandalucia.com/news/sport/transfer-record-for-malaga-football-club/ Transfer record for Malaga Football Club]; List Andalucia, 20 July 2010</ref> He scored his first goal for the [[Andalusia]]ns exactly two months later, in a 1–2 home defeat against [[Sevilla FC]] in [[La Liga]].<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/match/48603/malaga-vs-sevilla/report Report: Malaga vs Sevilla]; [[Goal.com]], 20 September 2010</ref> Four days later, he opened the score in a 2–0 win at [[Getafe CF]],<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2010/09/23/2133624/primera-liga-round-up-sevilla-held-at-home-malaga-stun Primera Liga round-up: Sevilla held at home, Malaga stun Getafe, Villarreal edge past Deportivo La Coruna]; Goal.com, 23 September 2010</ref> adding a third the following week, in a 2–3 home loss against [[Villarreal CF]].<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=302129&campaign=rss&source=soccernet&cc=3888 First-half thriller]; [[ESPN Soccernet]], 27 September 2010</ref>

On 1 May 2011, Rondón contributed with one goal as Málaga came from behind at home to defeat [[Hércules CF]] 3–1.<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=301948&cc=5739 The Beast boosts Malaga hopes]; ESPN Soccernet, 1 May 2011</ref> That was his 13th goal of [[2010–11 La Liga|the season]], with which he surpassed the record of goals from a Venezuelan footballer in the Spanish top flight, previously held by [[Juan Arango]];<ref>[http://eltiempo.com.ve/deportes/futbol/salomon-rondon-anoto-e-hizo-historia/20166 Salomón Rondón anotó e hizo historia (Salomón Rondón scored and made history)]; El Tiempo, 2 May 2011 {{es icon}}</ref> the team finally escaped relegation, with the player finishing as its top scorer.

Rondón started [[2011–12 La Liga|2011–12]] on the [[Substitute (association football)|substitutes]] bench. He eventually beat competition from ageing [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]], again finishing as Málaga's best scorer – included goals in narrow home wins against [[RCD Espanyol]] (2–1)<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=323932&cc=5739 Malaga end losing run]; ESPN Soccernet, 30 October 2011</ref> and [[Levante UD]] (1–0),<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=323790&cc=5739 Rondon boosts Boquerones]; ESPN Soccernet, 10 March 2012</ref> and a brace against [[Rayo Vallecano]] (4–2 success, also at ''[[Estadio La Rosaleda]]'').<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=323774&cc=5739 Rondon doubles up in Malaga win]; ESPN Soccernet, 22 March 2012</ref>

==International career==
Rondón appeared for the [[Venezuela national under-20 football team|Venezuelan under-20s]] in the [[2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup|2009 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Egypt]]. He scored four times during the competition – as teammate Yonathan del Valle, with both netting [[hat-trick]]s in the 8–0 group stage routing of [[Tahiti national football team|Tahiti]] – as the [[South American]]s managed to qualify to the [[Single-elimination tournament|round-of-16]].<ref>{{FIFA player|305416}}</ref>

Previously, on 3 February 2008, aged only 18, Rondón made his debut for the [[Venezuela national football team|senior team]], in a friendly with [[Haiti national football team|Haiti]], scoring his first international goal on 23 March, against [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]] (another exhibition match, another 1–0 win).

{{spanish name 2|Camacho|Alfaro}}
'''José Antonio Camacho Alfaro''' (born 8 June 1955) is a retired [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Association football|football]] [[Defender (association football)|left defender]], and a current [[Coach (sport)|manager]].

He played for 15 professional years with [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], appearing in more than 500 official matches with the team and helping it to 19 major titles, including nine [[La Liga]] championships. Subsequently, he embarked in a lengthy manager career, which included two very brief spells with his main club.

Camacho gained more than 80 [[Cap (sport)|caps]] with [[Spain national football team|Spain]], representing it in two [[FIFA World Cup]]s and as many [[UEFA European Football Championship]]s. He also managed the national team during four years, taking it to the quarterfinals in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]].

==Playing career==
Camacho was born in [[Cieza, Murcia]]. After playing youth football at [[Albacete Balompié]], he moved to [[La Liga]] giants [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] at age 18, being almost immediately cast into the first team and its starting XI, his debut being handed by manager [[Luis Molowny]].

During his spell with Real Madrid, Camacho played in nearly 600 official matches (414 in the league alone), forming a proficient left-wing partnership with [[Rafael Gordillo]], who played mainly as a [[midfielder]] then. In January 1978, he suffered a serious injury in training, which put his career on hold for nearly two years, but returned strong, being instrumental as the [[Madrid|capital]] side won consecutive [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cups]].

Camacho also played 81 games for the [[Spain national football team|Spanish national team]], his debut coming at not yet 20, on 5 February 1975 in [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]], in a 1–1 draw against [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] for the [[UEFA Euro 1976]] [[UEFA Euro 1976 qualifying|qualifiers]].

For the following 13 years, Camacho was a defensive mainstay for the national side, being selected – and always as first-choice – for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]] and [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]] [[FIFA World Cup]]s, as well as [[UEFA Euro 1984|Euro 1984]] and [[UEFA Euro 1988|1988]]; after the 0–2 group stage loss against [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] in the latter competition, he retired from the international scene, aged 33.

==Coaching career==
===Beginnings===
Following his retirement as a player in 1989, Camacho began coaching, first in Real Madrid's coaching staff. His first professional experiences were spent at [[Rayo Vallecano]] and [[RCD Espanyol]], both of which he helped promote to the first division.

In the 1998 summer, Camacho took over Real Madrid's first team, but left after only a mere 22 days over disagreements with the club's management.

===Spanish national team===
Camacho succeeded [[Javier Clemente]] as national team manager in September 1998, after a shock 2–3 loss in [[Cyprus national football team|Cyprus]] in a [[UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying|Euro 2000 qualifier]].

The tide quickly turned under Camacho, who led the side to [[UEFA Euro 2000|the final stages]], where it bowed out to eventual champions [[France national football team|France]] 2–1 in the quarterfinals. Two years later, his team lost in the same stages to [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]], now in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]]. Following the controversial defeat,<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/2142882.stm Ghandour sees red]; [[BBC Sport]], 21 July 2002</ref> he announced his resignation, being replaced by [[Iñaki Sáez]].

===Benfica/Real Madrid-Benfica return/Later years===
After that, Camacho returned to club action, being appointed at [[Portugal]]'s [[S.L. Benfica]] on 29 November 2002, in the place of sacked [[Jesualdo Ferreira]]. Two years later, his team won the [[Taça de Portugal|Portuguese Cup]] against [[José Mourinho]]-led [[F.C. Porto]] in extra-time, as well as [[2003–04 Primeira Liga|finishing second]] in [[Primeira Liga|the league]]. A tough tackler in his playing days, he also showed a very human side, when he deeply cried after [[Hungary|Hungarian]] [[Miklós Fehér]] died on the pitch, shortly after entering Benfica's match at [[Vitória S.C.|Vitória de Guimarães]].

For [[2004–05 La Liga|2004–05]], Camacho returned to Real Madrid on a two-year contract, as a replacement to sacked [[Carlos Queiroz]]. However, things quickly went wrong again in his second spell, after a 0–3 defeat at [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen]] in the [[2004–05 UEFA Champions League|the season]]'s [[UEFA Champions League]], and a 0–1 league loss at Espanyol four days later, in September. Shortly after, he resigned and was replaced by assistant [[Mariano García Remón]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/3671372.stm|title=Camacho quits Real|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 September 2004|accessdate=20 August 2009}}</ref>

Following [[Fernando Santos (Portuguese footballer)|Fernando Santos]]' mutual agreement termination of contract with Benfica, after a 1–1 away draw with [[Leixões S.C.]] in [[2007–08 Primeira Liga|2007–08 Portuguese League]]'s opener, Camacho returned to Benfica.<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=573484.html Benfica bring back Camacho]; UEFA.com, 21 August 2007</ref> However, following a poor string of results, and claiming he was no longer able to motivate the team, Camacho announced he would leave the club, minutes after drawing a home match against bottom-placed [[U.D. Leiria|União de Leiria]] on 9 March 2008.<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=670164.html Camacho hands in Benfica notice]; UEFA.com, 9 March 2008</ref>

After working as co-commentator on Spanish TV network [[Cuatro (channel)|Cuatro]] during Spain's victorious [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]] campaign (he would also work for the channel during the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]], which also ended with the national team's triumph), on 13 October 2008, Camacho replaced [[José Ángel Ziganda]] at the helm of [[CA Osasuna]].

On 14 February 2011, following a 0–1 away loss against [[Real Sociedad]] that placed the [[Navarrese]] [[2010–11 La Liga|inside the relegation zone]], Camacho was fired.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/880339/osasuna-sack-jose-antonio-camacho-following-league-slump?cc=5739|title=Osasuna sack Camacho|publisher=[[ESPNsoccernet]]|date=14 February 2011|accessdate=14 February 2011}}</ref>

{{spanish name 2|Mendilibar|Etxebarria}}
'''José Luis Mendilibar Etxebarria''' (born March 14, 1961 in [[Zaldibar]], [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]]) is a former [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Association football|football]] [[midfielder]], and a current coach.

==Playing career==
Mendilibar enjoyed an average career as a player, never representing a club in the [[La Liga]]; successively, he played for [[Bilbao Athletic]], [[CD Logroñés]], [[Sestao Sport Club]] and [[SD Lemona]].

He was a key player in midfield for Sestao during the club's [[Segunda Division|second division]] years - playing eight years with the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque]] club in that level, and overall appearing in nearly 300 matches - narrowly missing out on promotion in [[1986–87 Segunda División|1987]] under [[Javier Irureta]].

==Coaching career==
After retiring in 1994, Mendilibar worked in the youth categories of [[Athletic Bilbao]], before being appointed head coach of [[UD Lanzarote]], and then [[SD Eibar]]. His success with the latter in the second division, on a very limited budget, translated into a [[2004–05 Segunda División|narrow miss on promotion in 2005]].

Mendilibar then returned to Athletic,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/intertotocup/news/kind=1/newsid=311043.html|title=Mendilibar gets Athletic chance|publisher=UEFA.com|date=21 June 2005}}</ref> the club he supported as a child, but was sacked after just a few months, as the ''Lions'' ranked last with just one win in 10 matches.

In [[2006–07 Segunda División|2006–07]], Mendilibar moved to [[Real Valladolid]], achieving top flight promotion in his debut campaign (with 88 points), and retaining division status from 2007–09.

On 1 February 2010, after a 1–1 home draw against [[UD Almería]], Mendilibar was sacked from his post.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=735072&sec=europe&cc=5739|title=Onesimo takes reins from Mandilibar at Valladolid|publisher=[[ESPNsoccernet]]|date=2 February 2010|accessdate=27 February 2010}}</ref> Slightly less than one year later he returned to active, replacing sacked [[José Antonio Camacho]] at [[CA Osasuna]].

He is the cousin of Danish footballer [[Nicki Bille Nielsen]], who plays for [[Villarreal CF B|Villarreal B]].

==Career==
Daniel Wass has always played in [[Brøndby IF|Brøndby]], and in 2007, after playing some years at the youth team, he joined the first team.
His debut was given in the 2007/2008 season, and he played most of the games that season. In the 2008/2009 season out on injury for a long period, and so, in the summer of 2009 [[Brøndby IF|Brøndby]] chose to loan him out to [[Fredrikstad FK|Fredrikstad]] from Norway. This was an unsuccessful season for Wass. But his breakthrough season came in 2010/2011, were he has been the preferred right back at [[Brøndby IF]]

'''Giampiero Ventura''' (born January 14, 1948 in [[Genoa]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[Association football|football]] [[coach (sport)|manager]].

==Career==
After a short playing career started with [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]], Ventura was forced to retire from active football at the age of 25 because of a serious back injury. He therefore opted to become a coach in the ''blucerchiati'' 's youth system, then becoming an assistant coach in 1979; he then left Sampdoria in 1981 to pursue a head coaching career, starting from several amateur teams from [[Liguria]]. In 1985 he achieved his first promotion to a professional league with [[A.C.D. Virtus Entella|Entella]].

In 1987 he became head coach of [[Spezia Calcio 1906|Spezia]] in the [[Serie C1]], but did not complete the season. Two poor seasons with Centese, characterized by a sacking, a reappointment and finally a relegation to [[Serie C2]], were followed by a three-year tenure as [[A.C. Pistoiese]] boss in the [[Serie D|Interregionale]], ended with a promotion to [[Serie C2]] in his second season and a fourth place in the third. In 1993 he became head coach of [[Sicily|Sicilian]] Serie C1 team [[A.S. Giarre Calcio|Giarre]], where he achieved a very impressive fourth place, that is still the best result ever achieved by the club as of today. In 1993 he was appointed by [[Maurizio Zamparini]] to coach [[S.S.C. Venezia|Venezia]] of [[Serie B]]: in his first season, Ventura obtained a good sixth place; this was not followed by an improvement in results in his second season, ended with a sacking.

In 1995 Ventura returned to Serie C1 at the helm of [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]], which he led to two consecutive promotions up to [[Serie A]]. In 1997 he joined [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]], which he led to a quick return to Serie A. In 1998–99 he finally made his personal Serie A debut, leading Cagliari to a 12th place. During the 1999–2000 season, he agreed a return at Sampdoria, this time as head coach, but missed promotion to Serie A ending the season in fifth place.

After a year without a team, Ventura returned coaching during the 2001–02 season, this time at [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]], obtaining just an unimpressive 14th place. From 2002 to 2004 he returned at Cagliari: a good ninth place in his first season was however followed by a sacking during the next one. In 2004–05 he was appointed at the helm of refounded team [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli Soccer]], with the goal to achieve immediate promotion to Serie B: however, Ventura did not manage to guide the team to the very top table positions, and he was later fired and replaced with [[Edoardo Reja]]. He returned coaching a Serie A club during the 2005–06 season, when he replaced [[Bortolo Mutti]] at the helm of [[F.C. Messina Peloro|Messina]] in an unsuccessful attempt to escape from relegation. In December 2006 he was called by [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] to replace [[Massimo Ficcadenti]]; despite a clear improvement in results his club, which was in the bottom of the table at Ventura's appointment time, did not manage to avoid playing a relegation playoff, losing it to Spezia.

Later on June 2007, Ventura was announced as new head coach of newly-promoted Serie B club [[Pisa Calcio|Pisa]].

After an impressive first season with Pisa, ended with Pisa unexpectedly playing in the promotion playoffs (then being eliminated by [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]], who later defeated [[U.C. AlbinoLeffe|AlbinoLeffe]] to win promotion in the top flight), a club takeover from Rome-based enterpreneur Luca Pomponi raised rumours about his possible replacement with [[Alessandro Costacurta]]. He was later confirmed by the new property after Costacurta declined interest in the managerial position, only to be sacked on April 2009 following a string of unimpressive results.<ref name="ventura_sacked">{{cite news |url=http://www.pisacalcio.it/news/dettaglio.html?iId=3071 |language=Italian |publisher=Pisa Calcio |accessdate=2009-04-19 |date=2009-04-19 |title=COMUNICATO UFFICIALE: LA SOCIETÀ NERAZZURRA SOLLEVA DALL'INCARICO IL TECNICO GIAMPIERO VENTURA}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

On June 26, 2009 Ventura was signed to manage [[A.S. Bari]] until June 2010, replacing [[Antonio Conte]]<ref>[http://sport.t-online.de/c/19/24/41/58/19244158.html Ventura tritt bei Bari die Nachfolge von Conte an]</ref> who had been at the helm since December 2007. He guided Bari to a positive 10th place, defeating teams like Juventus and Palermo along the way, and garnering praise for the team's fun and attractive style of play. The [[2010-11 Serie A]] campaign has been much more difficult, due to a poor transfer market and a rash of injuries, with Bari sitting in last place at the midway point. Bari did however win the Derby di Puglia against [[U.S. Lecce]] on 6 January 2011, thanks to a goal from loan signing [[Stefano Okaka]]. On 10 February 2011, with Bari sitting last in the table, with only one win in four months and 9 points from safety, Ventura agreed to part company with the club and was replaced by [[Bortolo Mutti]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.asbari.it/societa/archivio-news/3255-bari-ventura-separazione-consensuale.html |publisher=AS Bari |language=Italian |accessdate=11 February 2011 |date=10 February 2011 |title=Bari-Ventura: separazione consensuale }}</ref>

In 2002, he departed the club and joined FC Chauray, a local club in [[Poitou-Charentes]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://jcs9.free.fr/affiche_articles.php?article=153 | title = Le TFC, c'est la famille! | date = | accessdate = 18 July 2010 | publisher = Jeunes Citoyens Supporters | language = French}}</ref> Capoue stayed at the club for three years before joining [[Angers SCO]] in [[Pays de la Loire]].

Capoue made his [[France national under-21 football team|under-21]] debut on 19 November 2008 against [[Denmark national under-21 football team|Denmark]] in a 1–0 victory. In the team's following match against [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia]] at the [[Stade Olympique de Sousse]] in February 2009, he [[Captain (association football)|captained]] the team in a 1–1 draw. Capoue remained the team's first-choice captain until the [[2009 Toulon Tournament]] when he rescinded the captaincy to [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] defender [[Mamadou Sakho]] and became a vice-captain alongside Toulouse compatriot Moussa Sissoko. Capoue will likely lead the squad into the upcoming [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship]]. On 23 June 2009, he was named to the [[Guadeloupe national football team|Guadeloupe]] preliminary squad to participate in the [[2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup]], however he didn't make the final squad due to his parent club's objection. His call up and participation would have not hindered future selections from [[France national football team|France]] for Capoue as they are not a member of [[FIFA]].

{{2010–11 La Liga Infobox}}

The '''2010–11 [[La Liga]]''' season (known as the ''Liga BBVA'' for sponsorship reasons) is the 80th since its establishment. [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] are the defending champions, having won their 20th La Liga title in [[La Liga 2009–10|the previous season]] for the second time in a row. The campaign began on 28 August 2010 and will end on 22 May 2011. A total of 20 teams contest the league, 17 of which already contested in the [[2009–10 La Liga|2009–10 season]] and three of which were promoted from the [[Segunda División]]. In addition, a new match ball – the [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] T90 Tracer – serves as the official ball for all matches.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sergio Ramos presenta en Madrid el nuevo balón de la Liga, el 'T90 Tracer'|url=http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/797075/0/balon/liga/nike/|publisher=20 minutos |date=25 August 2010 |accessdate=2 July 2010 |language=Spanish}}</ref>

== Teams ==
[[Real Valladolid]], [[CD Tenerife]] and [[Xerez CD]] were relegated to the [[2010–11 Segunda División|Segunda División]] after finishing the [[2009–10 La Liga|2009–10 season]] in the bottom three places. Tenerife and Xerez made their immediate return to the second level after just one year in the Spanish top flight, while Valladolid ended a three-year tenure in La Liga.

The relegated teams were replaced by [[2009–10 Segunda División]] champions [[Real Sociedad]] from [[San Sebastián]], runners-up [[Hércules CF]] from [[Alicante]] and [[Levante UD]] from [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]]. Hércules returned to the highest Spanish football league for the first time after 13 years, while Real Sociedad and Levante terminated their second-level status after three and two years, respectively.

===Fair Play award===
This award is given annually since 1999 to the team with the best fair play during the season. This ranking takes into account aspects such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to know this aspect, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.

{{Spanish name 2|García|Toral}}
'''Marcelino García Toral''' (born August 14, 1965 in [[Villaviciosa, Asturias]]) is a former [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Association football|football]] [[Midfielder#Attacking midfielder|attacking midfielder]], and a current [[Racing de Santander]] [[Coach (sport)|manager]].

==Playing career==
García Toral (simply '''Marcelino''' in his playing days), was irregularly used in his first four professional seasons, at [[Sporting de Gijón]] - he did appear a record 33 times in [[1986–87 La Liga|1986–87]], as the [[Asturias|Asturians]] finished fourth in [[La Liga]]. His top flight debut was on December 22, 1985, in a 1–1 draw at [[Celta de Vigo]].

Toral hung up his boots in 1991 at only 26, after two ''[[Segunda División]]'' spells, with [[Racing de Santander]] and [[Levante UD]], both ended in relegation.

==Manager career==
García Toral started coaching at 33, with lowly [[CD Lealtad]], also in Asturias. For four of the next five years, he worked in the [[Segunda División B|third division]], with [[Sporting de Gijón B|Sporting's reserves]].

From 2003–05, Toral was in charge of the first team, finishing 5th and 10th, then signed with [[Recreativo de Huelva]], which he led to promotion in [[2005–06 Segunda División|his first season]], and a comfortable mid-table position in the top level in [[2006–07 La Liga|the following]], which made him the recipient of his first [[Miguel Muñoz Trophy]].

García Toral resigned at the end of the season and took over at former club Santander, leading the [[Cantabria]]ns to a best-ever [[2007–08 La Liga|6th-place finish]], with the subsequent [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] [[2008–09 UEFA Cup|qualification]]. However, on 29 May 2008, he again moved teams, returning to level two and joining [[Real Zaragoza]], with the objective of a promotion, which was [[2008–09 Segunda División|finally achieved]];<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.realzaragoza.com/r2z/paginas/noticias.php?id=2745|title=Marcelino será el nuevo entrenador del Real Zaragoza|trans_title=Marcelino will be new Real Zaragoza coach|publisher=Real Zaragoza|language=Spanish|date=28 May 2008|accessdate=28 May 2008|archiveurl =http://web.archive.org/web/20080530225747/http://www.realzaragoza.com/r2z/paginas/noticias.php?id=2745  |archivedate=30 May 2008}}</ref> in the process of signing, he had rejected [[Valencia CF]], and became the country's best paid manager at [[Euro|€]]2.4 million per year, following the departure of [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]]'s [[Bernd Schuster]].<ref>[[El País]], 14 June 2009, page 66</ref>

On December 13, 2009, following a string of poor results (the last a 1–2 home defeat to [[Athletic Bilbao]]), García Toral was fired by Zaragoza, with the [[Aragon]]ese nonetheless still above the relegation zone.<ref>[http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/news/33758/saragossa-entlaesst-trainer-marcelino.html Saragossa entlässt Trainer Marcelino (Zaragoza releases coach Marcelino)] {{de icon}}</ref>

'''Houssine Kharja''' ([[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]]: '''حسين خرجة''' , born 9 November 1982 in [[Poissy]]) is a [[France]] born, [[Morocco|Moroccan]] [[Association football|footballer]] who plays for [[Serie A]] club [[Internazionale]]. He is {{height|m=1.80}} tall and weighs {{convert|75|kg}}.<ref name="Goal profile"/>

== Career ==
Kharja began his career on youth side with [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] and in 2000 joined with [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]].

He started his career for [[Portugal|Portuguese]] side [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting CP]], and he joined Ternana in 2001.

Kharja played 12 matches and scored one goal during a 1–1 draw against [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]].

At the end of the [[Serie A 2005-2006|2005–06 season]], Roma decided not to extend Kharja's loan, so the Moroccan player had to go back to Ternana, but he refused this transfer because meanwhile the ''Rossoverdi'' had been relegated to [[Serie C1]]. Though, Ternana considered him as their own player,<ref>[http://www.ternanacalcio.com/interactivenews.php?partid=1975&pagid=4 Kharja stays at Ternana]</ref><ref>[http://www.ternanacalcio.com/interactivenews.php?partid=2020&pagid=2 Kharja has been asked for the match against Giulianova]</ref> [[FIFA]]'s court decided that Kharja was a [[free agent]], and so, on 20 March 2007 he signed a three year contract with [[Serie B]] team [[Piacenza Calcio]].<ref>[http://www.calciomercato.it/dettaglioNewsCategoria.asp?hdnIdCategoria=2&hdnId=7117 Kharja signs for Piacenza]</ref>

'''Manuel Luis Pellegrini Ripamonti''' (born 16 September 1953 in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]], [[Chile]]) is a former [[Chile|Chilean]] [[Association football|footballer]] and [[manager (football)|manager]]. His current club is [[La Liga]] side [[Málaga CF]].

==Club career==
Born in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]], Pellegrini attended the [[Pontifical Catholic University of Chile]] in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]],<ref>http://www.emol.com/noticias/deportes/detalle/detallenoticias.asp?idnoticia=363322</ref> where he graduated as a [[civil engineer]] in 1979.

As a footballer, he played his entire career for [[C.F. Universidad de Chile|Universidad de Chile]], making a total of 451 appearances, scoring 1 goal.

==Managerial career==
As a coach, he has managed teams mostly in Argentina and Chile. [[Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]] obtained their first international title while Pellegrini was manager.

===Chile===
He started coaching Universidad de Chile during the 1988 season, a year in which he lost the category{{Clarify|date=January 2011}}, a very disappointing situation for the most popular club in the country.
After coaching Palestino and O`Higgins, he became coach of Universidad Catolica, another one of the biggest clubs from Chile, and he had an amazing team with players such as Alberto Acosta and Nestor Gorosito, but he could only finish as runner-up during 1994 and 1995 seasons.

===LDU Quito===
Pellegrini coached [[Ecuador]]ian club [[Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito|LDU Quito]] to a [[Serie A de Ecuador|national title]] in 1999, starting a tradition of coaches that followed him to the Ecuadorian team. He had a good presentation in Copa Libertadores with the team that put him in the eye of GMs of other South American teams.

===San Lorenzo===
The years with Universidad Catolica were fundamental in his career as Nestor Gorosito, an Icon of San Lorenzo of Argentina, would later on recommend Pellegrini to the team and his recommendation would reap rewards when the Chilean coach led Los Cuervos to the 2001 Clausura title and the Copa Mercosur, South America's [[UEFA Cup]] equivalent.

===River Plate===
Pellegrini secured the Clausura championships at Los Milionarios (2003) in which he utilised the talents of [[Andres D'Alessandro]], one of many Argentine playmakers to have been likened to Diego Maradona. However his sale to [[Vfl Wolfsburg]] proved a tough hurdle for Pellegrini to overcome and his side struggled to defend their status as Argentine champions in the 2003 Torneo Apertura. He quit his post at the end of the campaign.

===Villarreal===
Pellegrini took over the managerial duties of [[Villarreal CF|Villarreal]] on July 1, 2004. In his first season in charge of the club, Villarreal qualified for the Champions League after finishing third in the league and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. The following season Villarreal reached the semi-finals of the [[UEFA Champions League 2005-06]], losing to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]. Villarreal eventually finished seventh in La Liga that year. The following two seasons featured Villarreal finishing in both 5th and 2nd place in the league, the latter being historic for the club. Pellegrini led "The Yellow Submarines" to the [[UEFA Champions League 2008-09 knockout stage|Champions league knockout stages]], where they drew Arsenal once again in the quarter-finals, losing out 4–1 on aggregate.

According to percentage of points gained, Pellegrini is the second most successful South American club manager in [[La Liga]] within the last 25 years, coming after [[Vanderlei Luxemburgo]].<ref>{{es icon}} http://www.latercera.cl/contenido/82_10905_9.shtml</ref>

At the end of 2007, Villarreal offered him an extended contract until 2011. On May 31, 2009, after the last La Liga match for Villareal, Pellegrini said "nobody from Real Madrid has spoken with me. I have a contract with Villarreal, we finished the league today, and tomorrow we go on holiday", after being inquired by the press.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/2009-05-30-4071733870_x.htm | work=USA Today | title=Pellegrini denies Madrid talks | date=May 30, 2009 | accessdate=May 12, 2010}}</ref>
On June 1, 2009, Villareal executive announced that Pellegrini would no longer continue at the club. The [[Valencia (province)|Valencian]] club executive specified that if [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] wanted to sign the [[Chile]]an coach, they would have to pay Pellegrini's 4 million euros termination clause.<ref>[http://www.kurier.at/sportundmotor/fussball/323150.php Pellegrini neuer Real-Coach] {{de icon}}</ref>

===Real Madrid===
On 2 June 2009, Pellegrini was officially appointed as manager of [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], signing a two–year contract. On being presented at the presidential balcony of the [[Santiago Bernabéu Stadium]] he said: "Hard to say in a few words the excitement and pride that one feels for having been chosen to direct perhaps the most important club in the world."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sofiaecho.com/2009/06/02/728761_real-madrid-appoint-manuel-pellegrini-as-head-coach|title=Real Madrid appoint Manuel Pellegrini as head coach|date=2009-06-02|publisher=[[Sofia Echo]]|accessdate=2009-06-02}}</ref> He joined Real Madrid as the first manager in [[Florentino Pérez]]'s second stint as Real Madrid president. After a few days, Pellegrini scouted [[Kaká]] from AC Milan saying "If we want to win the Champions League and be the best team in the world, we need the best players in the world".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8078185.stm|title=Real appoint Pellegrini as coach |date=2009-06-01|publisher=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-06-02}}</ref> They later bought [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] for £80million from [[Manchester United]] later that transfer window, and [[Karim Benzema]] from [[Olympique Lyonnais]] for £30million.

On 20 July 2009, Pellegrini directed his first match for the club against [[Ireland|Irish]] side [[Shamrock Rovers F.C.|Shamrock Rovers]] in a frendly match. Real Madrid won the game by a low 1-0 score, with a solitary goal by [[Karim Benzema]] in the 87th minute. The club's president [[Florentino Pérez]] criticized the team's style of play in this match and the physical exhaustion of the players. During July, Pellegrini disputed his first cup for the club as manager, the [[Peace Cup 2009]]. The club finished as semifinalist in the tournament, being eliminated by [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] in a 2–1 loss. On 29 August, Real Madrid won 3–2 at [[Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña|Deportivo La Coruña]] in Pellegrini's first [[La Liga]] game as manager.

On 27 October 2009, the club was eliminated from the [[Copa del Rey]] during the Round of 16 by the modest [[Segunda División B]] club [[AD Alcorcón]] with a 4–1 aggregate loss. The newspaper [[Diario Marca]] named this match [[Alcorconazo]]. Shortly after, this newspaper made many teasing references to Pellegrini and also he endangered his continuity at the club. On 10 March 2010 he suffered a second hit, being eliminated from the [[Champions League]] by [[Olympique Lyonnais]] in the Round of 16 with a 2–1 agreggate loss. Florentino Pérez issued an ultimatum to Pellegrini after this defeat, warning him that he would be fired if he did not win the league.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/mar/11/real-madrid-pellegrini-champions-league|title=Manuel Pellegrini's nightmare becomes Real as Madrid begin blame game|date=2010-03-10|work=[[Guardian.co.uk]]|publisher=[[The Guardian]]|accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

Pellegrini's Real Madrid side achieved a record 96 points in [[La Liga]], being the highest points total that Real Madrid has achieved in a La Liga season, but still came in runner-up, finishing behind their arch rival [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] who had 99 points. There were many rumors of the coach's departure during the summer of 2010, but the club's directors did not confirm anything at the time. On 26 May 2010, Real Madrid's directors announced that Pellegrini was being sacked by the club, to be replaced by [[José Mourinho]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8706918.stm|title=Real Madrid clear the way for Jose Mourinho|date=2010-05-26|work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=[[BBC]]|accessdate=2010-06-17}}</ref>

===Malaga CF===
After being released by Real Madrid, on 22 July 2010, he received a offer from the [[Mexico national football team]], their coach [[Javier Aguirre]] having resigned following the [[FIFA World Cup 2010]] quarter-finals in [[South Africa]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/468/internationals/2010/07/22/2037735/former-real-madrid-coach-manuel-pellegrini-has-mexico-offer|title=Former Real Madrid Coach Manuel Pellegrini Has Mexico Offer|date=2010-05-26|work=[[Goal.com|goal.com]]|publisher=[[Goal.com|Goal]]|accessdate=2011-02-05}}</ref> He declined this offer, but shortly after [[Premier League]] side [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] said they would be interested in hiring Pellegrini to manage the club in the next season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010/06/18/1982600/manuel-pellegrinis-agent-confirms-liverpool-talks|title=Manuel Pellegrini's Agent Confirms Liverpool Talks|date=2010-06-18|work=[[Goal.com|goal.com]]|publisher=[[Goal.com|Goal]]|accessdate=2011-02-05}}</ref> However, Pellegrini finished signing for [[La Liga]] side [[Málaga CF|Málaga]] in a three-year deal, their coach [[Jesualdo Ferreira]] having been fired.

'''Jonathan Michael Paul Spector''' (born March 1, 1986) is an American [[association football|soccer]] player who plays for English [[Premier League]] club [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] as a [[Midfielder|midfielder]]. He started his professional career in England when he was signed by [[Manchester United]] as a teenager. Although he began playing as a striker during his younger days, he was switched to a defensive position when he was a teenager. His natural position is right back as he is right-footed but he can play across the defensive line and in central midfield. In 2010, West Ham United manager, [[Avram Grant]], switched Spector to an attacking midfield position. Since playing in this position he has scored four goals, having previously not scored a professional goal.

==Early life==
Spector grew up in the [[Chicago]] suburb of [[Arlington Heights, Illinois]] (also the hometown of former [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] and [[United States men's national soccer team|US national team]] player [[Brian McBride]]). The youngest of four siblings, he played high school football at [[St. Viator High School]] and started his club football career with Schwaben AC in [[Buffalo Grove, Illinois]], before joining national power [[Chicago Sockers]]. He graduated from the [[United States Soccer Federation]]'s [[IMG Soccer Academy|Bradenton Academy]] at the age of 17 in the summer of 2003.<ref name=WHUProfile>[http://www.whufc.com/articles/jonathan-spector-west-ham_2228487_30124 West Ham Player Profile]</ref> His ancestry (his grandparents on the mother's side came from [[Siegen]], [[Germany]]) allowed him to acquire a German passport,<ref name=espn1>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=343072&root=americansabroad&&cc=5739 ''"Spector aims to boost World Cup credentials"''], ESPNsoccernet, 19 September 2005. Retrieved 24 June 2007.</ref> making it easier for him to play in [[England]].

Spector's grandfather is the late [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] [[basketball]] player [[Art Spector]], who was the first player to be signed by the [[Boston Celtics]] in 1946 and is known as the "Original Celtic". He died in June 1987 when Jonathan Spector was 15 months old.<ref>{{Citation |title=Jonathan Spector bio |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/profile?id=40267&cc=5901 |publisher=[[ESPNsoccernet]] |accessdate=2009-12-20}}</ref>

===Manchester United===
Spector was discovered by [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] scout [[Jimmy Ryan (footballer born 1945)|Jimmy Ryan]] while playing for the American Under-17 squad at the [[Milk Cup]] in 2003. Originally a striker, Spector was lined up in defense due to injuries for a game Ryan had attended to scout other players. Highly impressed by Spector's natural defensive instincts, Ryan alerted the club.<ref>{{cite web|last=Winner |first=Andrew |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=343072&cc=5901 |title=Winner: On Jonathan Spector – Americans Abroad – ESPN Soccernet |publisher=Soccernet.espn.go.com |date=2005-09-19 |accessdate=2010-05-27}}</ref>

He scored his first goals for West Ham and first in [[English football]], scoring twice in a 4–0 home win over former club Manchester United in the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] on 30 November 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/9233755.stm|title=West Ham 4–0 Man Utd |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=30 November 2010 |accessdate=30 November 2010}}</ref> Spector then scored again in West Ham's 2-0 home win over [[Barnsley]] in the [[FA Cup]]. He then continued his new found scoring form against Everton at Goodison Park on the 22nd of January by getting West Ham's opening goal in a 2-2 draw.

==International career==
In 2003, Spector played for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] at the [[FIFA U-17 World Championship 2003|World Under-17 Championship]] in [[Finland]] and earned his first [[Cap (sport)|cap]] for the senior team on November 17, 2004, in a [[Football World Cup 2006 - North, Central American and Caribbean Qualification Groups|World Cup qualifier]] against [[Jamaica national football team|Jamaica]].

In 2005, Spector was part of the U.S. Under-20 team at the [[2005 FIFA World Youth Championship]] in the [[Netherlands]] and as the 2005–06 Premier League season approached its conclusion, was considered a long shot to be included in the United States [[2006 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] squad. However, a shoulder injury sustained on April 17 in a game against [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]],<ref>[http://soccertimes.com/americans/2006/apr17.htm ''"Spector dislocates shoulder in Charlton victory over Portsmouth"''], SoccerTimes, 17 April 2006. Retrieved 29 June 2007.</ref> ended his chances of playing at the World Cup.

Spector was a member of the U.S. team that beat Mexico 2–1 in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final in Chicago in June 2007. However, during the final, he had to be substituted by [[Frankie Simek]] as he collided heads with Mexican midfielder [[Andres Guardado]]. Immediately after the substitution [[Benny Feilhaber]] struck the winning volley.<ref>[http://www.whufc.com/news/?page_id=9246 ''"Spector enjoys Gold Cup glory with USA"''], West Ham United Official Site, 25 June 2007.</ref>

Following injuries to [[Steve Cherundolo]] and [[Frankie Hejduk]], Spector was included in the United States roster for the [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]] and took the chance to cement his place in the national team, starting at right back for the entire tournament. He assisted [[Clint Dempsey]] to score a vital goal against Egypt in the last group stage match as the US scraped through to the semifinals on the basis of goals scored. In the final against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], Spector once again assisted Dempsey in scoring the opening goal with a similar long cross from the right flank.

Having returned from a long injury lay-off, Spector was ever present at right back for the remaining [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification - CONCACAF Fourth Round|2010 World Cup fourth round qualifers]] in 2009 although he has also been partnered with captain [[Carlos Bocanegra]] in central defense occasionally due to [[Oguchi Onyewu]]'s long-term injury.<ref>{{citenews|title=Spector revels in new role|url=http://www.whufc.com/articles/spector-revels-in-new-role-20091117_2236884_1877235|publisher=whufc.com|date=17 November 2009}}</ref> He was rested for the USA's last qualifying match against Costa Rica on 14 October as qualification had already been secured and was recalled for friendlies in November and March. Coach [[Bob Bradley]] included him in the final 23-man squad for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] although he did not appear in any games. Later in 2010, Spector was a starting right back in friendlies against Brazil and Columbia.<ref>[http://www.ussoccer.com/Teams/US-Men/Lineups/2010-Lineups.aspx]</ref>

The '''Estonia national football team''' ({{lang-et|Eesti jalgpallikoondis}}) represents [[Estonia]] in [[association football]] and is controlled by the [[Estonian Football Association]], the governing body for [[football in Estonia]]. Estonia's home ground is [[A. Le Coq Arena]] in [[Tallinn]] and their head coach is [[Tarmo Rüütli]]. Estonia played their first match in 1920. In 1940, Estonia was occupied by the [[Soviet Union]] and did not regain independence (and the possibility of a national football team) until 1991. They have yet to make their appearance in a FIFA World Cup or in a European Championship.

After restoration of independence, they played their first match against [[Lithuania national football team|Lithuania]] in the [[Baltic Cup (football)|Baltic Cup]] on 15 November 1991, and their first [[FIFA]]-recognised match against [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]] on 3 June 1992, a 1–1 draw in the Estonian capital city of [[Tallinn]]. Home matches are played at the [[A. Le Coq Arena]] in Tallinn.

Ranked 74th in the world, their highest [[FIFA World Rankings|FIFA World Ranking]] was 60th in December 2002, while their lowest ranking was 137th in October 2008.

==Modern history==
After Estonia regained independence, the national team was the weakest of the three Baltic teams, suffering defeats such as a 7–1 loss to [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] in the [[UEFA Euro 1996]] qualifiers. In the [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]] qualifiers, Estonia achieved notoriety when a home game against [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] was [[One team in Tallinn|called off in bizarre circumstances]].<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19961108/ai_n14080295 "Scotland must play an Estonian encore"]</ref> The replay in [[Monaco]] finished 0–0; goalkeeper [[Mart Poom]] earned a move to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] soon afterwards, with a move to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] later on. The team's best [[FIFA World Rankings|FIFA World Ranking]] is that of 60th in December 2002. This allowed Estonia's players to be granted a work visa by the [[British Home Office]] to play in the [[Premier League]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Last Word: It's time to get rid of the FIFA rankings |url=http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1226404731036&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull |work=[[The Jerusalem Post]] |date=2008-11-14 |accessdate=2009-02-13}}</ref>

Estonia's fortunes have improved since. In the [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]] qualifiers, Estonia got 8 points from as many games, only 4 goals scored and 6 conceded. The [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] qualifiers saw further improvement with 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats, almost sending them to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The team drew 0–0 against [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]] qualifiers. Estonia has multiple players who have reached 100 caps including [[Mart Poom]], [[Andres Oper]], [[Marko Kristal]] and [[Martin Reim]]. An enormous boost to Estonians, and Estonian football in general, arrived on 8 October 2010, when Estonia played away against [[Serbia national football team|Serbia]] in the 2012 Euro qualifying tournament and came out eventual winners 3–1, a result regarded by many fans as one of the greatest in recent history.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

==Stadium==
The main stadium for home matches is [[A. Le Coq Arena]], which is named after an Estonian beer company. The stadium was opened in 2001 and the first match was against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]], which Estonia lost 4–2. There are plans to add two more stories to double the capacity and complete the roof.

The Estonian national team plays some of their matches at [[Kuressaare linnastaadion]]. The Linnastaadion will be replaced by a new stadium to host the games of [[FC Kuressaare]] and to be the back-up stadium for the national team. When the stadium is complete, Estonia hopes to host the 2011 and 2013 European Championships for youth national teams.

==Kit==
[[Nike Inc.|Nike]] has been the kit provider for the national team since 2000 and the contract will last until 2011. Before Nike, the team was sponsored by [[Italy]]-based [[Lotto Sport Italia|Lotto]] from 1992 to 2000.

The national team's home dress is a blue jersey with black shorts and white socks, although a few kits have had white shorts and white socks. The blue-black-white colors are derived from the [[flag of Estonia]]. The away kit has changed several times but it has usually been a white jersey, black shorts and blue socks, occasionally it has been with white socks. The goalie usually wears a yellow jersey, black shorts and yellow socks.

==Supporters==
[[Image:Jalgpallihaigla in Riga2004.jpg|thumb|Estonian fans in Riga, Latvia]]
One of the biggest groups of Estonian fans is known as the ''Jalgpallihaigla'', meaning "The Football Hospital". Members have the chance to get a membership card which allows fans to buy cheaper goods from the shop.

Estonian fans are known as calm but loud. They are known for their singing abilities and for using traditional Estonian songs. Jalgpallihaigla is usually seated at the south tribune of A. Le Coq Arena while the visitors fans are seated at the north tribune.

When Estonia won against [[Russia national football team|Russia]] 2–1 in a friendly game in [[2001]], Russian fans started rioting but Jalgpallihaigla stayed calm. The incident lead to the creation of [[riot police]] in Estonia. Another incident took place on 4, June, after a friendly game against [[Faroe Islands national football team|Faroe Islands]] which Estonia won 4–3. Before the game, the [[Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm|national anthem of Estonia]] was sung by [[Ewert Sundja]], an Estonian singer. After the anthem, many Estonians felt that the Estonian pop-star had ruined it. After the game, two Estonian fans beat up the singer,<ref>[http://www.ohtuleht.ee/index.aspx?id=282383 "Ewert Sundja sai vutifänni käest kere peale"] {{et icon}}</ref> and it is known that the culprits were members of Jalgpallihaigla.

'''Wisła Kraków''' ({{IPA-pol|ˈviswa ˈkrakuf}}) is a Polish football club based in [[Kraków]], [[Poland]] that contests in the elite Polish professional football league [[Ekstraklasa]] . The clubs origins date back to the year of 1906 when two amateur Kraków teams merged together. In the years 1906–1945 and then from 1990 to 1997 the club was officially known as a Sports Society Wisła ([[pol.]] Towarzystwo Sportowe Wisła). Following the end of World War II the club became known as Wisła Kraków.

The club's coat of arms is a white star on a red background crossed by a blue ribbon. Wisła's crest symbolizes the merge of the two teams called the Reds and the Blues during the birth of the club which collaborate with the colors based in the cities [[symbols of Kraków|coat of arms]] .

Wisła Kraków has been one of the most successful [[Association football|football]] teams in Poland in recent years, having won a total of 12 Polish league championships, 7 of them since 1999. Along with league titles Wisła won the [[Polish Cup]] on 4 occasions. Wisła also enjoyed some success in European competition in the 1970's, reaching the quarter-finals in the [[1978-79 European Cup| 1978–79 UEFA Champions League]] and winning the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] in 1969, 1970, and 1973. In the most recent season Wisła finished as runner-ups and are currently under the Dutch manager [[Robert Maaskant]].

== History ==
===Birth of the Club 1906===

The ancestor of today’s Wisła Kraków was a football team formed in the fall of 1906 by the students of 2nd Practical School, under the direction of Józef Szkolnikowski, who also served as the team captain. In September 1906 “Szkolnikowski’s Team” took part in a Fall Tournament organized by Dr. Tadeusz Konczyński, which took place at Kraków’s Błonia meadows. “Szkolnikowski’s Team” wore blue jerseys for the competition, and because of this, the team began to be known as “the Blues”.

In 1907 “The Blues” merged with another [[Kraków]] team, “The Reds” founded and administrated by Jenker. Following the merger the team's primary color became red, but it was the members of the Blues who came up with the name Wisla to call their new association. Though the team jerseys were red they bore 2 blue stars in order to show that the team was created from the fusion of 2 others. In 1911 the blue stars were replaced by a single white star placed on the left side of the uniform. In 1936 the official coat of arms was established consisting of a white star on a red shield crossed by a blue ribbon, alluding to the colors of the 2 founding teams.

===Early Success Polish Champions 1927–1928===
[[Image:Kadra1927.jpg|thumb|200px|left|1927 Wisła Kraków side.]].
In this first, historic season of the League, fight for Championship was decided between two powerful teams – Wisła Kraków and 1.FC Katowice. This rivalry was treated very seriously, not only by the two sides involved, but also by the whole nation. 1.FC was regarded as the team supported by German minority, while Wisła, at the end of this historic season, represented ambitions of all Poles.

Some time in the fall of 1927 in Katowice, an ill-fated game between 1.FC and Wisła took place. Stakes were very high – the winner would become the Champion. Kraków's side won 2–0 and became the Champion. 1.FC finished second, third was Warta Poznań.

In 1949 the club was renamed to Gwardia Kraków. In 1956 the club was once again renamed, to GTS Wisła Kraków, a name which held true until 1990 when the club reverted to its original name: TS Wisla Kraków. In the late nineteen-nineties the football (soccer) section of the club was incorporated and was renamed Wisła Kraków SSA.

The club has had its ups and downs, winning national championships and gaining European qualification. It was also relegated to the second division on three occasions. Since the football section has been bought by Tele-Fonika in 1998, the team has been far and away the most successful club in Poland, winning 7 national championships and placing second 3 times, totaling 10 top 2 finishes in 12 years.

On the international stage Wisła has competed in all three of the European competitions. The clubs greatest success came in the 1978/79 season, when Wisla was able to reach the quarter-finals of the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] eventually to be knocked out by [[Malmö FF]],by a aggregate score of 3:5. Most recently Wisła narrowly missed out on a chance to compete in the 2005/06 Champions League group stage, being defeated 4:5 by [[Greece|Greek]] side [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] after extra time and under controversial circumstances.

Wisła also twice reached the second round of the [[Cup Winners Cup]] in 1967/68 and 1984/85, being beaten 0:5 and 2:3 by [[Hamburger SV]] and [[Fortuna Sittard]] respectively.

"The White Star" has competed ten times in the [[UEFA Cup]], for instance in 1976/77, 1981/1982 and 1998/99. Twice gaining entry into the second phase only to be knocked out on penalties by [[R.W.D. Molenbeek]] and 2:3 by [[AC Parma]]

==Supporters and rivalries==
===Fan Friendlies===
Wisła has tremendous fan relations between [[Lechia Gdańsk]], [[Śląsk Wrocław]] and [[Unia Tarnów]]. The fellow supporters are eager to support each other during home and away matches, ignoring any [[Ekstraklasa]] rivalry. [[Wisła Kraków]] supporters are known as some of the most renowned and passionate fans in Poland, if not in Europe. Support at home matches, and even many away matches, includes chants, songs, and overall, advert support.

===The Holy War===
[[Image:Wisla-cracovia derby.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Wisła spectators during a derby game against Cracovia.]]The term Holy War refers to the intense rivalry between the two [[Kraków]] based teams; Wisła and [[Cracovia (football club)|Cracovia]]. In 1906 the establishment of the two first Polish football clubs, [[Cracovia (football club)|Cracovia]] and Wisła, created a rivalry that now dates back more than one hundred years. The term Holy War was first used to describe the rivalry of Kraków's Jewish teams, Makabbi and [[Jutrzenka Kraków|Jutrzenka]]. A Jutrzenka defender who later joined the Cracovia side referred to the derby match against Wisła as the ''Holy War''. The phrase was incorporated into a song and has since been popular among Wisła and Cracovia fans. In 2006, the 100 year anniversary match was played between Wisła Kraków and Cracovia. Nearly 1,000 police were on hand during the game along with vehicles armed with water cannons, riot vans, helicopters and police dogs.

===Poland's Derby===
The match contested between Wisła Kraków and [[Legia Warsaw]] is commonly recognized as the greatest rivalry in Polish club football. The two sides have been the most successful clubs in Poland during the past decade and the rivalry between two of Poland's premier cities of [[Kraków]] and [[Warsaw]] sparks the rivalry even more. The regional differences of Kraków (South) and Warsaw (North), and the fact that Kraków used to be the capital of Poland before Warsaw (in the years 1041–1596) also add a greater meaning to the match.

==Stadium==
{{Main|Stadion Miejski in Kraków}}
[[Image:Stadion wisly krakow sideview.jpg|thumb|220px]]
Wisła's Stadium is located on 22 Reymonta Street in Kraków, Poland. The stadium was built in 1953 and currently holds a capacity of 15,595. The stadium currently is being rebuilt to accommodate 34,000 spectators. The Wisła Stadium has also been chosen as a reserve venue for the [[Euro 2012]] tournament being organized jointly by Poland and Ukraine. The record attendance of 45,000 at Wisła Stadium came on September 29, 1976 when Wisla defeated [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] 2:0. The venue has been a fortress for Wisła, where the team is especially difficult to defeat. It is worth noting that Wisła holds the all-time European football record for home games without a loss in a row. The streak was started following a loss on September 16, 2001, to [[KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski]] and ended more than five years later on November 11, 2006, when [[GKS Bełchatów]] defeated Wisła 4:2. The number of matches without a loss was then settled at 73, overcoming the former Polish record of 48 which belonged to Legia Warsaw. During the 2008–09 season, Wisła lost points at home only twice; tying [[Łódzki KS]] and being defeated by [[Lech Poznań]].

'''Dejan Stanković''' ([[Serbian Cyrillic]]: Дејан Станковић, born 11 September 1978 in [[Belgrade]]) is a [[Serbia]]n [[football (soccer)|footballer]] who currently plays for the [[Italy|Italian]] [[Serie A]] side [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]] and the [[Serbia national football team|Serbian national team]], which he [[captain (football)|captains]]. He is an attacking midfielder who can also play out wide on the wings or track back in a defensive midfield role. "Deki", as he is nicknamed, is best known for his effective, accurate passing, versatility and creativity as well as his ability to score goals from long distance.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2006/jun/05/worldcup2006.sport105 2006 World Cup – Serbia & Montenegro] The Guardian</ref>

On 13 June 2010, Stanković became the first player to represent three different countries in the [[FIFA World Cup]]: Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Serbia.

==Early life==
Stanković grew up in [[Zemun]], a municipality of [[Belgrade]]. Both of his parents, Borislav and Dragica, have strong football backgrounds.

==Club career==
Stanković began playing football for [[FK Teleoptik]], based in his neighbourhood of Zemun. When spotted by Red Star cadet squad coach Branko Radović, however, 14-year-old Dejan transferred to [[Red Star Belgrade]]'s youth system.

===Red Star Belgrade===
Stanković then passed every age category at his hometown club.<ref>{{citenews|title=Stankovic split by Zvezda|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=8192/newsid=40464.html|publisher=[[UEFA|uefa.com]]|date=30 October 2002}}</ref> In the youth teams, he was coached by [[Vladimir Petrović|Pižon Petrović]], playing alongside future professionals [[Nikola Lazetić]] and [[Nenad Lalatović]].

During the [[First League of FR Yugoslavia 1994-95|1994–95 season]], Stanković's debut opportunity for first team action came under head coach [[Ljupko Petrović]] against crosstown rivals [[OFK Beograd]]. Fighting for a spot on the team led by, among others, [[Rambo Petkovic|Rambo Petković]], [[Darko Kovačević]], and [[Nebojša Krupniković]], 16-year-old Dejan made seven league appearances that season as the team won league title. He scored his first goal against [[FK Budućnost Podgorica|Budućnost Podgorica]], soon becoming a first team regular and a fan favourite. Before the start of the 1997–98 season, he was made squad captain at the tender age of 19, the youngest ever in the club's history. Despite not winning the league he captained the team to two domestic cup victories.

During the early '90s, Red Star was under an international ban because of a [[United Nations]] sanction imposed on [[FR Yugoslavia]], meaning that the team could not compete in any European competition. The ban was lifted ahead of the 1996–97 season, and Stanković played a huge part in a memorable two-leg victory over [[1. FC Kaiserslautern|Kaiserslautern]] in the [[1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]].

===Lazio===
In the summer of 1998, he transferred for £7.5 million ([[German mark|DM]]24 million) to [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]],{{citation needed|date=February 2010}} where he scored on his [[Serie A]] debut versus [[Piacenza Calcio|Piacenza]] on 13 September 1998. In those years, Lazio had an all-star squad with world class players at almost every position, but Stanković quickly secured a regular first-team place despite competition from fellow midfielders [[Pavel Nedvěd]], [[Juan Sebastián Verón]], and [[Roberto Mancini]]. He formed a formidable midfield combination with Nedvěd and Mancini and were an integral part of the successful Lazio side at the turn of the decade. His work rate and impressive performances earned him the nickname ''Il Dragone'' (The Dragon) from fans.<ref>{{citenews|title=Ambition fuelling Stankovic's flame|url=http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=990896.html|publisher=[[FIFA|fifa.com]]|date=12 January 2009}}</ref> He had five-and-a-half successful seasons in the ''biancoceleste'' part of [[Rome]], before earning a high profile move to [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Internazionale]] in February 2004.

===Internazionale===
As Stanković began the 2003-04 season at Lazio, the ''Biancoceleste'' struggled with financial problems and were forced to sell many of their best players. Big name teams in European football knew that the club would have to sell the midfielder in the nearest future, so there was fierce competition for his services during the 2003–04 winter transfer window. [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] were favorites in the chase for Stanković's signature with even some preliminary paperwork reportedly signed between the two parties in early January 2004,<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2004/SPORT/football/01/05/juventus.stankovic.reut/ Juve no longer keen on Stankovic];CNN.com, 5 January 2004</ref> but the player eventually chose Internazionale. He was signed as part of a deal worth €4 million that also sent [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]]n international [[Goran Pandev]] (plus 50% of Pandev's contract) in the opposite direction.<ref>{{citenews|title=Pandev returns to Inter Milan|url=http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=1153426.html|publisher=[[FIFA|fifa.com]]|date=4 January 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.borsaitaliana.it/media/borsa/db/pdf/new/8385.pdf|title=2004 Bilancio al 30 giugno 2004 – approvato al 30 novembre 2004|accessdate=2010-02-27|work=SS Lazio|language=Italian|publisher=[[borsa Italiana]] archive}}</ref>

The fact that old friend, former teammate, and head coach from Lazio [[Roberto Mancini]] was already rumoured to be soon taking over the head coaching duties at Inter may have influenced Stanković's decision. In early February 2004, Stanković played his debut match for Inter under head coach [[Alberto Zaccheroni]], a Serie A clash at home against [[A.C. Siena|Siena]] that ended 4-0. On 21 February 2004, he scored a spectacular goal directly from a corner kick to put Inter 1–0 up in ''[[Derby della Madonnina]]'' versus fierce rivals [[A.C. Milan|Milan]]. Inter finished the league season in fourth place thus qualifying for Champions League. Still, president [[Massimo Moratti]] was not convinced with Zaccheroni and at the end of the season, just like rumoured, brought Mancini from the financial shipwreck at Lazio.

=====2004-05 season=====
The head coaching change suited Stanković just fine and he got reunited with another familiar face from Lazio - [[Siniša Mihajlović]].

On 7 May 2006, Stanković played his 100th match for Inter.

=====2006-07 season=====
Coming off the summer appearance at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]], Stanković carried excellent form right from the start of the [[2006–07 Serie A]] campaign, scoring some decisive goals. His strike against [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] and his memorable goal against city rivals Milan have enhanced his reputation with the fans of Internazionale.

According to the official ratings of the ''[[La Gazzetta dello Sport]]'', Stanković was selected as the [[man of the match]] five times during the 2006–07 Serie A campaign. He renewed his contract on 2 February 2007, with Inter securing his services until at least 2010.

=====2008-09 season=====
With the June 2008 arrival of [[José Mourinho]] to the position of Inter's head coach, there was a lot of press speculation about Stanković's exit from the ''Nerazzuri'' (along with [[Adriano Leite Ribeiro|Adriano]], [[Hernán Crespo]], [[David Suazo]], and [[Nicolás Burdisso]]) due to reportedly not being held in high regard by the newly arrived Portuguese coach.<ref>[http://www.srbijasport.com/vest.php?news_id=12748&sport_id=55 Deki na transfer listi, Juventus zainteresovan];SrbijaSport, 4 June 2008</ref> A lot of the press' focus was also placed on Stanković's friendship with previous head coach Mancini and assistant coach Mihajlović with veiled suggestions that it was this relationship with the coaching duo that kept the Serb midfielder in the club even when his performances were less than stellar throughout the 2007-08 season. Then in late June after reports that Stanković was told by Mourinho he would not be allowed to show up for pre-season training in [[South Tyrol]]<ref>[http://www.footballitaliano.org/194/stankovic-nears-juve-switch.html Stankovic nears Juve switch];footballitaliano.org, 28 June 2008</ref> and more reports that Stanković and Juve have agreed personal terms, it seemed that he's definitely on his way out. The press reports of Stanković's pending arrival to Juve sparked the club's fans into protests and online petitions as they would neither forgive his turning down the club back in January 2004 nor his exuberant public celebrations after the 2005-06 Serie A title was stripped from Juve and handed to Inter following the [[Calciopoli]] scandal.<ref>[http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=international_feed/08/07/05/SOCCER_Ita-Juventus.html NEDVED WOULD SUPPORT STANKOVIC DEAL];sportinglife.com, June 2008</ref> The Juve deal fell through within days for a variety of other reasons,<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=567298&sec=europe&root=europe&cc=5901 Getting back to business];ESPN Soccernet, 29 August 2008</ref> and Stanković was suddenly reported to be happy to stay at Inter.<ref>[http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11854_3786515,00.html Stankovic set to stay at Inter];SkySports, 6 July 2008</ref> However, the transfer talk got reignited again by Mourinho's suggestion in mid July 2008 that "Stanković is not the same player he was at Lazio",<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2008/07/16/779090/mourinho-stankovic-no-longer-the-same-player Mourinho: Stankovic No Longer The Same Player];Goal.com, July 2008</ref><ref>[http://sport.blic.rs/Fudbal/Evropski-fudbal/49553/Murinjo-Stankovic-vise-nije-isti Murinjo: Stanković više nije isti];''Blic'', July 2008</ref> which some took again as a sign that the player's Inter days are numbered.

However, Stanković still decided to stay and fight for a spot on Mourinho's team and soon after the season started he managed to do achieve his aim. On 19 October 2008, Stanković scored a superb goal in Inter's 4–0 hammering of [[Luciano Spalletti]]'s [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] away at [[Stadio Olimpico]]. After receiving a pass from [[Sulley Muntari]], he drove the ball past the Roma goalkeeper into the net, his 24th goal in all competitions for the ''Nerazzuri'', thus ending a year-long goal drought.<ref>{{citenews|title=Serie A: Roma 0–4 Inter|url=http://inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=30072&L=en&IDINI=30088|publisher=inter.it|date=19 October 2008}}</ref> The relief and vindication after everything he had gone through during the summer was evident in his goal celebration<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unvw_GDM8jg Roma-Inter 0:4], October 2008</ref> and in interviews after the match Stanković talked of his joy to be fully back on form following the injury-prone previous season. He also thanked Mourinho for giving him an opportunity even after the two did not get off on the right foot during summer offseason.<ref>[http://www.b92.net/sport/vesti.php?yyyy=2008&mm=10&dd=21&nav_id=324574 Stanković: "Murinjo, hvala"];''Gazzetta dello Sport'', 21 October 2008</ref>

In December 2008, Stanković, by now an irreplaceable part of Mourinho's midfield, gave another display of his rediscovered form versus [[ChievoVerona]] at home: first with a through-pass to [[Maxwell Cabelino Andrade|Maxwell]] for the game's opening goal, followed by a goal of his own for 2-0 with a first time shot from the edge of the penalty area, and finally an assist from the right wing to [[Zlatan Ibrahimović]] as Inter recorded a 4-2 win.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huDlbtPQ24c Inter-Chievo 4:2]; Serie A, 13 December 2008</ref><ref>[http://sport.blic.rs/Fudbal/70082/Srbi-u-Evropi-Stankovic-sjajan-golovi-Jovanovica-i-Lovrea Srbi u Evropi: Stanković sjajan, golovi Jovanovića i Lovrea];''Blic'', 15 December 2008</ref>

On 7 February 2009, Stanković celebrated his 200th appearance for Inter in all competitions at the away game versus [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]]. Inter hammered the newly-promoted team 3–0 with Stanković heading in the third goal following a slick free-kick cross from [[Maicon Douglas Sisenando|Maicon]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku3ST9MOxWI Lecce-Inter 0:3];Serie A, 7 February 2009</ref> Stanković's season-long good form continued as he scored Internazionale's second goal against Milan in the 270th Milan Derby on 15 February. This turned out to be the winning goal after [[Alexandre Pato]] had pulled one back. Inter went on to win a fourth consecutive title, his fifth Serie A trophy.

In the Champions League, Inter limped into the second round after losing its final two [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League group stage|group stage]] matches against Panathinaikos and Werder Bremen. In the first elimination round (eight-final) they lost to Manchester United in a hardfought tie. Stanković played the full ninety minutes in the first leg at San Siro, putting in a very lively and active display.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5PQzvVuOy8 Inter-Manchester Utd. 0:0];UEFA Champions League, February 2009</ref> In the return at [[Old Trafford]], Stanković started the match and had a great first half 37th minute effort after playing a one-two with Ibrahimović and striking the ball with the outside of his boot from some 25 meteres out, only to see it go centimeters wide of [[Edwin van der Sar]]'s right post. Two minutes later Stanković had another glorious opportunity when he got in behind [[Patrice Evra]] on the right as Ibrahimović picked him out with a cross from the left, but the Serb did not make good enough contact with the ball in one-on-one situation with van der Sar and the shot went over the bar. In the 57th minute with United leading 2-0 and Inter forced to chase the result, Mourinho took Stanković off and inserted striker Adriano. The match marked Stanković's 63rd Champions League appearance thus overtaking [[Predrag Đorđević]] at the top of the list of Serbian players' with most appearances in the competition<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwxlSp8wwmI Manchester Utd.-Inter 2:0];UEFA Champions League, March 2009</ref>

=====2009-10: Tripletta season=====
[[File:Dejan Stanković - Inter Mailand (4).jpg|thumb|left|200px|Stanković in action for Inter in 2009]]
The 2009–10 season began well for Stanković. In the 29 August Milan derby, he played in a deeper role to replace the injured [[Esteban Cambiasso]]. Nevertheless, he scored Inter's fourth goal and his second in consecutive Milan derbies in a 4–0 thrashing, a spectacular 30-yard strike after quickly collecting Sulley Muntari's pass.<ref>{{citenews|title=Inter Milan thrash ten-man AC Milan in one-sided derby|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/aug/29/serieafootball-acmilan|publisher=[[The Guardian newspaper|The Guardian]]|date=29 August 2009 | location=London | accessdate=1 May 2010}}</ref> He subsequently scored against [[FC Rubin Kazan|Rubin Kazan]] and [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] to continue his rich vein of form under the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[José Mourinho]].

He also scored a wonder-goal from 54 metres out in a 5–0 thrashing against [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]], volleying the ball straight in from [[Marco Amelia]]'s clearance.<ref>{{citenews|title=Christmas 2009: what a year for Dejan Stankovic|url=http://inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=32820&L=en|publisher=inter.it|date=23 December 2009}}</ref>

=====2010-11 season=====
Playing under new head coach [[Rafa Benítez]], Stanković continued his usual midfield role. On the 28th of November 2010, Stanković netted a hattrick in an emphatic 5-2 victory over Parma at the San Siro.

At the [[2010 FIFA Club World Cup|FIFA Club World Cup]] in [[Abu Dhabi]] in mid December, Stanković played an excellent semifinal versus [[Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma|Seongnam]], scoring the opening goal turning in an all around midfield performance.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM7xNz0cW98 Seongnam-Inter 0:3];FIFA World Club Cup, 15 December 2010</ref> However, despite this, Benítez decided to bench Stanković for the [[2010 FIFA Club World Cup Final|final]] versus [[TP Mazembe]], only bringing him on for [[Christian Chivu]] in the 54th minute. Soon Benítez got sacked despite winning the trophy, and couple of weeks later Stanković expressed his dismay at Benítez's decision to leave him on the bench for the final.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2176/serie-a/2011/01/03/2288385/dejan-stankovic-i-cant-forgive-former-inter-boss-rafael Dejan Stankovic: I Can't Forgive Former Inter Boss Rafael Benitez];Goal.com, 3 January 2011</ref> On the same occasion, depite publicly backing the beleguerd coach months earlier,<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/86/italy/2010/11/18/2220920/dejan-stankovic-rafael-benitez-is-the-right-person-for-inter Dejan Stankovic: Rafael Benitez Is The Right Person For Inter];Goal.com, 18 November 2010</ref> Stanković said that Benítez simply "didn't work" at Inter.<ref>[http://soccer-magazine.com/soccer-news/italy-soccer/stankovic-benitez-didnt-work-at-inter/ Stankovic: Benitez didn’t work at Inter];soccer-magazine.com, 4 January 2011</ref>

Under newly arrived head coach [[Leonardo Araújo]], Stanković continued to be the automatic choice in midfield where he displayed his versatility, at times playing the role of injured [[Wesley Sneijder]]. Stanković scored his first goal under new coach at home versus Bologna in mid-January, and then continued with the same form away at Udinese, scoring the opening goal and then hitting the post in a match that Inter lost. In [[2010–11 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia quarterfinal]] at [[SSC Napoli|Napoli]] during late January, Stanković injured his thigh muscle that will rule him out for a month.

==International career==
Stanković made his international debut for the [[Serbia national football team|old Yugoslavia team]] against [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] on 22 April 1998, scoring two goals in a 3–1 victory.<ref>{{citenews|title=BBC Sport Euro 2000 profiles: Dejan Stankovic|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/euro2000/teams/yugoslavia/squad/746811.stm|publisher=[[BBC Sport]] | date=14 May 2000 | accessdate=1 May 2010}}</ref> He played at the [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]] and [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]] when the Serbian national team was still called Yugoslavia and soon established himself as an important player.

The Yugoslavian team became Serbia and Montenegro by the time [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification|2006 World Cup qualifying]] started, and Stanković started in all games and scored two goals, but missed the last qualifier through injury. At the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], he was given the number 10 shirt and [[Savo Milošević]] captained the new Serbia and Montenegro team in their first World Cup, but they failed to progress to the knock-out rounds after losing all their group matches to [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]], [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], and the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]]. After Milošević retired, the midfielder took over as [[captain (association football)|captain]] of the re-formed [[Serbia national football team|Serbian national team]], following the break up of Serbia and Montenegro.

In the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|2010 World Cup qualifying]], Stanković has started in and captained all but two of Serbia's matches. They qualified for their first World Cup as an independent nation. He was instrumental in their shock 1-0 win over favorites [[Germany national football team|Germany]] but they were not able to progress to the next round due to narrow losses against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] and [[Australia national football team|Australia]].

'''Walter Mazzarri''' (born 1 October 1961) is a retired [[Italy|Italian]] [[Association football|football]]er and the current manager of [[S.S.C. Napoli]].

==Playing career==
Mazzarri, a [[midfielder]] and a product of [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]'s youth system, made his professional debut in 1981 for [[Pescara Calcio|Pescara]] of [[Serie B]], and played a short [[Serie A]] stint in [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] the following season, before being sold to [[A.C. Reggiana 1919|Reggiana]]. He had his longest time in a team where at [[Empoli F.C.|Empoli]], participating to the first Serie A promotion for the Tuscan side. After several experiences mostly with minor teams, including a two-year stint with [[S.S.D. Acireale Calcio 1946|Acireale]] where he was part of the team who won a historical first promotion to Serie B, and then playing in the Italian second tier in 1993–94, Mazzarri ended his playing career in 1995 with [[Sassari Torres 1903|Sassari Torres]].

==Managing career==
Mazzarri started his managing career as [[Renzo Ulivieri]]'s assistant coach for [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] in 1998. His first first team experience came in 2001/2002 for [[Sicily|Sicilian]] [[Serie C|Serie C2]] team [[A.S. Acireale|Acireale]], where he already worked as a footballer from 1992 to 1994. Successively, he returned in his native Tuscany to coach [[A.C. Pistoiese|Pistoiese]] of Serie C1 in 2002/2003 and [[A.S. Livorno Calcio|Livorno]] of [[Serie B]] in 2003/2004, bringing the ''amaranto'' led by [[Cristiano Lucarelli]] back in [[Serie A]]. He served as coach of [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]] from 2004 to 2007, leading the [[Calabria]]n side to three consecutive savings, the latter being particularly impressive, as obtained in the final Serie A day of the season despite a 11 points deduction. On May 31, 2007 he was announced as new [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] coach.<ref>{{cite news |title=Mazzarri named Samp boss |url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may31n.html |publisher=Football Italia |date=2007-05-31 |accessdate=2007-05-31 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070602151931/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may31n.html  |archivedate = 2007-06-02}}</ref>

He served as Sampdoria boss for two seasons, in a team that enjoyed a considerable improvement in results also thanks to the likes of new signing [[Antonio Cassano]], who publicly praised Mazzarri's coaching abilities. Sampdoria's [[Serie A 2007–08|2007–08]] campaign ended in an impressive sixth place which ensured qualification to the [[UEFA Cup 2008–09|UEFA Cup]]. Mazzarri's Serie A fortunes with Sampdoria slightly declined in [[Serie A 2008–09|2008–09]], as the ''blucerchiati'' ended their campaign in 13th place; despite this, he managed to guide his team into the [[2009 Coppa Italia Final|Coppa Italia Final]], notably defeating Italian champions [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]] 3–1 on aggregate in the semifinals, before being defeated on penalty shootouts by [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] in a one-legged final. Mazzarri left Sampdoria by mutual consent at the end of the 2008–09 season.

On 6 October 2009 he was appointed as the new manager of [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]], replacing [[Roberto Donadoni]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sscnapoli.it/client/render.aspx?root=707&fwd=2800&content=0|title=È Walter Mazzarri il nuovo allenatore|publisher=SSC Napoli|language=Italian|date=2009-10-06|accessdate=2009-10-06}}</ref> He led Napoli to 6th place in the Serie A, being rewarded from chairman De Laurentis on 22 May 2010 with a contract that runs until June 2013.

'''Giampiero Ventura''' (born January 14, 1948 in [[Genoa]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[Football (soccer)|football]] [[coach (sport)|manager]].

==Career==
After a short playing career started with [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]], Ventura was forced to retire from active football at the age of 25 because of a serious back injury. He therefore opted to become a coach in the ''blucerchiati'' 's youth system, then becoming an assistant coach in 1979; he then left Sampdoria in 1981 to pursue a head coaching career, starting from several amateur teams from [[Liguria]]. In 1985 he achieved his first promotion to a professional league with [[A.C.D. Virtus Entella|Entella]].

In 1987 he became head coach of [[Spezia Calcio 1906|Spezia]] in the [[Serie C1]], but did not complete the season. Two poor seasons with Centese, characterized by a sacking, a reappointment and finally a relegation to [[Serie C2]], were followed by a three-year tenure as [[A.C. Pistoiese]] boss in the [[Serie D|Interregionale]], ended with a promotion to [[Serie C2]] in his second season and a fourth place in the third. In 1993 he became head coach of [[Sicily|Sicilian]] Serie C1 team [[A.S. Giarre Calcio|Giarre]], where he achieved a very impressive fourth place, that is still the best result ever achieved by the club as of today. In 1993 he was appointed by [[Maurizio Zamparini]] to coach [[S.S.C. Venezia|Venezia]] of [[Serie B]]: in his first season, Ventura obtained a good sixth place; this was not followed by an improvement in results in his second season, ended with a sacking.

In 1995 Ventura returned to Serie C1 at the helm of [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]], which he led to two consecutive promotions up to [[Serie A]]. In 1997 he joined [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]], which he led to a quick return to Serie A. In 1998–99 he finally made his personal Serie A debut, leading Cagliari to a 12th place. During the 1999–2000 season, he agreed a return at Sampdoria, this time as head coach, but missed promotion to Serie A ending the season in fifth place.

After a year without a team, Ventura returned coaching during the 2001–02 season, this time at [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]], obtaining just an unimpressive 14th place. From 2002 to 2004 he returned at Cagliari: a good ninth place in his first season was however followed by a sacking during the next one. In 2004–05 he was appointed at the helm of refounded team [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli Soccer]], with the goal to achieve immediate promotion to Serie B: however, Ventura did not manage to guide the team to the very top table positions, and he was later fired and replaced with [[Edoardo Reja]]. He returned coaching a Serie A club during the 2005–06 season, when he replaced [[Bortolo Mutti]] at the helm of [[F.C. Messina Peloro|Messina]] in an unsuccessful attempt to escape from relegation. In December 2006 he was called by [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] to replace [[Massimo Ficcadenti]]; despite a clear improvement in results his club, which was in the bottom of the table at Ventura's appointment time, did not manage to avoid playing a relegation playoff, losing it to Spezia.

Later on June 2007, Ventura was announced as new head coach of newly-promoted Serie B club [[Pisa Calcio|Pisa]].

After an impressive first season with Pisa, ended with Pisa unexpectedly playing in the promotion playoffs (then being eliminated by [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]], who later defeated [[U.C. AlbinoLeffe|AlbinoLeffe]] to win promotion in the top flight), a club takeover from Rome-based enterpreneur Luca Pomponi raised rumours about his possible replacement with [[Alessandro Costacurta]]. He was later confirmed by the new property after Costacurta declined interest in the managerial position, only to be sacked on April 2009 following a string of unimpressive results.<ref name="ventura_sacked">{{cite news |url=http://www.pisacalcio.it/news/dettaglio.html?iId=3071 |language=Italian |publisher=Pisa Calcio |accessdate=2009-04-19 |date=2009-04-19 |title=COMUNICATO UFFICIALE: LA SOCIETÀ NERAZZURRA SOLLEVA DALL'INCARICO IL TECNICO GIAMPIERO VENTURA}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

On June 26, 2009 Ventura was signed to manage [[A.S. Bari]] until June 2010, replacing [[Antonio Conte]]<ref>[http://sport.t-online.de/c/19/24/41/58/19244158.html Ventura tritt bei Bari die Nachfolge von Conte an]</ref> who had been at the helm since December 2007. He guided Bari to a positive 10th place, defeating teams like Juventus and Palermo along the way, and garnering praise for the team's fun and attractive style of play. The [[2010-11 Serie A]] campaign has been much more difficult, due to a poor transfer market and a rash of injuries, with Bari sitting in last place at the midway point. Bari did however win the Derby di Puglia against [[U.S. Lecce]] on January 6th, 2011, thanks to a goal from loan signing [[Stefano Okaka]].

'''Diego Pablo Simeone''' (born April 28, 1970 in [[Buenos Aires]]) is an [[Argentina|Argentine]] former [[association football|footballer]] and current [[coach (sport)|head coach]] of [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] in Italy's [[Serie A]]. A [[defensive midfielder]], he was the most capped player ever for [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] (he has been since surpassed).

When Simeone was 14, his youth coach Victorio Spinetto nicknamed him ''[[Cholo]]'' as his energetic play reminded him of former [[Boca Juniors]] player and Argentine international [[Carmelo Simeone]] (no relation) who had that nickname.<ref>[http://www.ole.com.ar/diario/2002/06/05/m-397561.htm Diario Deportivo Olé – El más odiado, el más bancado]</ref>

In his club career that started in 1987, Simeone played for [[Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield|Vélez Sársfield]], [[Pisa Calcio|Pisa]], [[Sevilla FC]], [[Atlético Madrid]], [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Inter Milan]], and [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]].

==Club career==

Simeone spent most of his career in Italy with [[A.C. Pisa 1909 S.S.D.|Pisa]] his first European club in 1990 in which he was brought in by manager [[Mircea Lucescu]]. After spells at [[Atletico Madrid]] where he was part of the club's 1996 La Liga and Copa Del Rey double triumph and [[Sevilla]], Simeone returned to [[Serie A]] with Inter in 1997 and played two full seasons, winning the [[UEFA Cup]] in 1998 in a side spearheaded by [[Ronaldo]] up front. They beat his future club Lazio 3–0 in the final.

In 1999 Lazio, bankrolled by food empire Cirio and its owner Sergio Cragnotti and under the guidance of [[Sven Goran Eriksson]], bought Simeone to join a strong Argentine flavour at the Biancocelesti which included veteran [[Nestor Sensini]], [[Matias Almeyda]], [[Hernan Crespo]] and the mercurial passing skills of [[Juan Sebastian Veron]].

The side had gone close to the Scudetto just before Simeone's arrival and he helped deliver the championship after a gruelling season where [[Juventus]] led the standings by two points going into the last day, but a Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazio's comfortable home win over [[Reggina]] at the [[Stadio Olimpico]] ensured Simeone's first Serie A title. After winning the double in Spain he would then add the Italian double as [[Lazio]] edged out [[Internazionale|Inter]] to claim the 2000 Coppa Italia.

He went on to play three more seasons at the Biancocelesti which included more last day drama as a Simeone goal against former club [[Internazionale|Inter]] on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers' title dream.

Simeone returned to [[Atletico Madrid]] in 2003 and played two more seasons before leaving Europe to return to [[Argentina]] with [[Racing Club de Avellaneda|Racing Club]].

==International career==

For the [[Argentina national football team|Argentine team]], Simeone amassed 106 caps,<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/arg-recintlp.html RSSSF Argentine international players]</ref> the first coming in 1988.

Simeone won the [[Copa América 1991|1991]] and [[Copa América 1993|1993]] editions of the [[Copa América]] with Argentina. He played in the [[Football World Cup 1994|1994]], [[Football World Cup 1998|1998]] and [[Football World Cup 2002|2002]] [[Football World Cup|World Cup]]s. He was a member of the team that won the silver medal at the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. As a midfielder, Simeone scored 11 goals for his country, including one in the final of the 1992 Confederations Cup.

During the 1998 World Cup, England's [[David Beckham]] was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul. (see also [[Argentina and England football rivalry]]). Simeone later admitted to simulating the injury from the kick, in order to get Beckham sent off.<ref>{{cite news | title=England v Argentina – A history | work=Observer Sport Monthly, 19 May 2002| url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/worldcup2002/countries/story/0,,716632,00.html | accessdate=November 15, 2006 | location=London | first=John | last=Carlin | date=May 19, 2002}}</ref> In the following match, against [[Netherlands national football team|the Netherlands]], Simeone was injured by a tackle during his team's defeat. In the 2002 World Cup, his last, Argentina was eliminated in the group stage.

Simeone once described his style as "holding a knife between his teeth". Simeone admitted to being "embarrassed" at having surpassed [[Diego Maradona]] as Argentina's most capped player (he has since been surpassed by [[Roberto Ayala]] and [[Javier Zanetti]]).

==Managerial career==
Simeone ended his playing career for [[Racing Club de Avellaneda|Racing Club]], playing his last match on 17 February 2006, and then became manager for the same team. After a rough start, the team made an impressive finish in the 2006 Clausura. When ownership of the club changed hands, Simeone left Racing in May 2006 and was replaced with [[Reinaldo Merlo]].

On May 18, he became head coach of [[Estudiantes de La Plata]] and soon led them to their first League title in 23 years after defeating [[Boca Juniors]] 2–1 in a final match played December 13, 2006.

In an October 2006 poll in the sports daily Ole, Simeone was voted as the best manager in the Argentine league.<ref>[http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/10/31/um/m-01300708.htm Simeone, el gran estratega del fútbol argentino]</ref> He was also praised as a "born manager" by former Argentine international [[Roberto Perfumo]].<ref>[http://old.ole.clarin.com/jsp/v4/pagina.jsp?pagId=01309221 El técnico se hace, sí, pero sobre todo nace]</ref>

Simeone left Estudiantes after the end of the 2007 ''Apertura'', where Estudiantes was not a contender after a bad start, but had a strong finish of nine lossless games.

On December 15, 2007 Simeone was unveiled as the new [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] coach, succeeding [[Daniel Passarella]]. The contract was reported to be a year long, starting on January 3, 2008.<ref>[http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7156071,00.html Guardian football]</ref>

After an early elimination in the [[Copa Libertadores]] losing to [[Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]] in the second round, Simeone and River Plate went on to win the [[Primera_División_Argentina_2007-08#Torneo_Clausura_.28.22Closing.22_Tournament.29|2008 Clausura]] championship after beating Olimpo 2–1 in the Monumental.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/09/sports/LA-SPT-SOC-Argentine-Roundup.php River Plate crowned champion of Argentine Clausura – International Herald Tribune]</ref>

On November 7, 2008 Simeone announced his resignation as coach of [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] after their elimination at the Quarter-final stage of [[Copa Sudamericana 2008]] by the Mexican team Chivas and a poor run of form of 11 domestic games without a win which left them bottom of the [[Primera División Argentina]] with only six games remaining.<ref>[http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=744488&s=arg&type=story Diego Simeone renunció a la dirección técnica de River] at [[ESPN Deportes]] {{es icon}}</ref><ref>[http://msn.foxsports.com/fsi/fsla/story/revista?contentId=8792932 Las causas de una salida inevitable]</ref>

On 15 April 2009 Simeone joined [[Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]] to replace [[Miguel Angel Russo]], following the club's exit in the first round of [[Copa Libertadores 2009]].<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=637488&sec=global&cc=5739 Ex-River boss Simeone to manage San Lorenzo]</ref> On 3 April 2010 the coach quit San Lorenzo due poor results and mounting criticism.<ref>[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=765971&sec=global&cc=5739 Simeone quits San Lorenzo post after dismal run]</ref>

On 19 January 2011, he flew to Sicily to join Serie A side, [[Calcio Catania|Catania]], replacing [[Marco Giampaolo]] who left the club just hours earlier.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/?action=read&id=248797 |title=ESCLUSIVA TMW - Criscitiello: "Colpo Lo Monaco: Simeone a Catania" |trans_title=TMW EXCLUSIVE - Criscitiello: "Lo Monaco strikes: Simeone to Catania" |work=Tutto Mercato Web |date=19 January 2011 |accessdate=19 January 2011 |language=Italian}}</ref><ref name="simeone_catania">{{cite news |url=http://www.calciocatania.it/comunicati/comunicati.php?id=21846 |publisher=Calcio Catania |language=Italian |accessdate=19 January 2011 |date=19 January 2011 |title=Diego Pablo Simeone è il nuovo allenatore del Catania}}</ref>

'''Delio Rossi''' (born November 26, 1960 in [[Rimini]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[association football]] manager. He is the current head coach of [[Serie A]] club [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]], after being appointed on November 23, 2009 as a replacement for dismissed trainer [[Walter Zenga]].<ref name="rossi_palermo">{{cite news |url=http://www.ilpalermocalcio.it/it/0910/news_scheda.jsp?id=18946|language=Italian |publisher=US Città di Palermo |accessdate=2009-11-23 |date=2009-11-23 |title=Delio Rossi è l'allenatore del Palermo}}</ref>

==Playing career==
Rossi's playing career was not a bright one, as he reached his personal top from 1981 to 1983, playing [[Serie B]] with [[U.S. Foggia]], where he spent most of his footballing time. He retired in 1989, after a season played with [[A.S. Andria BAT|Fidelis Andria]] of [[Serie C2]].

==Managerial career==
Rossi, a [[sports science]] graduate with honours, took his first coaching job in 1990, aged 29, at [[A.S. Torremaggiore Calcio|Torremaggiore]], of [[Promozione]] league, immediately winning the championship. The next year he joined [[U.S. Foggia|Foggia]] as youth coach. In 1993, Rossi signed for [[Salernitana Calcio 1919|Salernitana]] of [[Serie C1]], and led the team to a [[Serie B]] promotion. After an unlucky comeback to Foggia, and a sixth place in [[Pescara Calcio|Pescara]], Rossi returned to coach Salernitana in 1997, leading the team to its second [[Serie A]] promotion in history. Rossi guided the team in Serie A too, but was fired in March 1999, as he was unable to lead Salernitana out of the relegation positions. A troubled year in [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] and a poor comeback to Pescara were followed by three seasons with [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]]. Rossi, appointed as Lecce's coach in February 2002, was not able to avoid relegation to Serie B, but led the team back to Serie A just the next season, and maintained a place in the division the next year. He left Lecce in 2004 to be replaced by his maestro [[Zdenek Zeman]], who was head coach at Foggia during Rossi's times in leading its youth team.

In December 2004, Rossi replaced [[Andrea Mandorlini]] at the helm of [[Atalanta B.C.]], last-placed in Serie A. Despite all his efforts and numerous praises, Rossi was not able to let his team escape from relegation, but gained interest from [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]], who appointed him as replacement for [[Giuseppe Papadopulo]].

His time at Lazio has been a remarkable success for which he has aroused interest from many top Serie A clubs. Rossi guided Lazio to a surprising UEFA Cup place in the 2005–2006 season, only for the place to be lost as part of the [[Calciopoli]] scandal that rocked the country in the summer of 2006. Even more remarkable, however, was Rossi's feat the following season. Despite an initial 11-point points deduction (which was subsequently reduced to 3 on appeal), Rossi guided the ''biancocelesti'' to an unlikely third place Serie A finish and a place in the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League]]. However during the 2007–08 season, he led Lazio to a disappointing 12th place finish.

On May 13, 2009 Rossi led [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] to their first trophy since the [[Coppa Italia]] triumph in 2004. It was also a [[Coppa Italia]] victory, which came after a successful penalty shootout against [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]]. On June 8, 2009, Delio Rossi was announced to have left Lazio because of personal reasons allegedly linked to an unstable working relationship with chairman [[Claudio Lotito]]. He was replaced by [[Davide Ballardini]].

On November 23, 2009 Rossi returned into management as new head coach of [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]], replacing [[Walter Zenga]] at the helm of the ''rosanero''.<ref name="rossi_palermo" /> He immediately managed to turn the fortunes of Palermo, guiding the Sicilians to quickly rise up the Serie A league table also thanks to surprise results such as two 2–0 away win against teams such as [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]] and [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]], and ending the season in fifth place with only one point behind fourth-placed [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] who were admitted to the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at the ''rosanero'''s expense. He was consequently confirmed as head coach of Palermo for the 2010–11 season, during which he is guiding the club also in its [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League]] campaign. Impressive results in the new season included another impressive win at Juventus' home, as well as his abilities in launching youngsters as [[Javier Pastore]], [[Ezequiel Muñoz]], [[Josip Iličić]] and [[Armin Bačinović]].

Reja started his career with the youth team of [[Spal 1907|SPAL]], playing in midfield alongside lifelong friend [[Fabio Capello]]. Together, they helped the team to the 1963–64 Italian Youth Championship. In 1965–66, Reja joined Capello in [[Serie A]] with the first team and also the Italian Under 23 side. Reja played for two more teams, [[U.S. Città di Palermo]] and [[U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria]] in a long career that lasted until 1975, playing a total of 124 [[Serie A]] matches.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.totalfootball.org/ita/home/page.asp?sid=145&mid=2&PageId=2254 |publisher=Totalfootball |language=Italian |accessdate=2009-01-18 |title=I friulani più conosciuti}}</ref>

===Coach===
====Early career====
Reja started his coaching career in 1979 serving as boss of [[Serie D]] team Molinella. Next year he then coached Monselice of [[Serie C2]]. In 1989 he coached his first [[Serie B]] team, [[Pescara Calcio|Pescara]], of which he was previously the youth squad boss. He successively gained good successes in the same league with [[A.S. Cosenza Calcio|Cosenza]], [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]] and [[Brescia Calcio|Brescia]], where he won the championship; however, he opted to give up the opportunity to coach Brescia in [[Serie A]], preferring to accept an offer from [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], another Serie B team, where he then missed promotion being defeated on the promotion playoffs to [[Perugia Calcio|Perugia]] after [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootouts]].

====Serie A debut at Vicenza, Genoa, Catania and Cagliari====
During the 1998–1999 season, he was appointed coach of [[Serie A]] club [[Vicenza Calcio|Vicenza]], thus making his debut in a top division team, but was unable to save the team from relegation. Next year he remained at Vicenza and led his team back to Serie A, but promptly relegated one more time on 2001. In 2001–2002, he replaced [[Francesco Scoglio|Franco Scoglio]] at the helm of [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] (Serie B), but to be fired himself only three months later. On 2002–2003, he was appointed in the mid-season by [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] boss [[Luciano Gaucci]] to replace [[John Toshack]]. On November 2003, he replaced [[Giampiero Ventura]] at [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] and guided the ''rossoblu'' to second place in the [[Serie B]] and promotion to [[Serie A]], but was not confirmed.

====Napoli====
From January 2005, he is [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]]'s boss, appointed at Giampiero Ventura's place (who was curiously replaced by Reja the previous year in Cagliari). He led Napoli to win [[Serie C1]] and obtaining promotion to Serie B on 2006, and promptly guided his team to a second consecutive promotion to [[Serie A]] in 2007, which meant the Serie A comeback for Napoli since 2001. In his first Serie A campaign with Napoli, Reja guided the ''azzurri'' to a [[2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup]] spot, also defeating [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]] in the first of their only three losses in the whole league.

He was confirmed at the helm of Napoli for the 2008–09 season. In the season start, Napoli were defeated by [[S.L. Benfica]] in the first round of the [[UEFA Cup 2008–09|UEFA Cup]], but managed to rise up to first place in the [[Serie A]] table also thanks to impressive wins against [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] and [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]], easily increasing fans' interest and support for the Neapolitan side. However, results quickly deteriorated in the second half of the season, with Napoli losing contact with the European Cup spots, with Reja being ultimately sacked on 10 March 2009 after a 0–2 home loss to [[S.S. Lazio]] on Week 27, closing abruptly a five-year spell with the ''azzurri''. He was replaced by former [[Italy national football team|Italian team]] boss [[Roberto Donadoni]].<ref name="reja_sacked">{{cite news|publisher=SSC Napoli|url=http://www.sscnapoli.it/client/render.aspx?root=707&fwd=2367&content=0|title=Roberto Donadoni nuovo tecnico azzurro|date=10 March 2009|accessdate=10 March 2009|language=Italian}}</ref>

====Lazio====
After a short spell as head coach of Croatian side [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]] from August 2009 to February 2010, Reja opted to quit his job in Split in order to become new head coach of Lazio.<ref>{{cite news |title=Reja: Vratit ću Hajduk gdje mu je mjesto! |url=http://www.hajduk.hr/?otvori=vijest&vijest=182 |publisher=HNK Hajduk |date=9 February 2010 |accessdate=10 February 2010 |language=Croatian }}</ref> He was unveiled as new Lazio boss the following day, replacing [[Davide Ballardini]] at the helm of the Rome club.<ref>{{cite news |title=Calcio, Lazio: esonerato Ballardini, squadra a Reja |url=http://it.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idITMIE61909D20100210 |publisher=Reuters Italia |date=10 February 2010 |accessdate=10 February 2010 |language=Italian }}</ref> He turned the fortunes of a club in dismay, guiding it out of the relegation zone and into a mid-table finish in the season.

The 2010–11 season for Lazio started in an astonishing way, with the team surprisingly heading Serie A with a four-point advantage to runners-up Inter after nine games, thanks to Reja's abilities in relaunching players such as [[Mauro Zárate]], [[Cristian Ledesma]] and [[Stefano Mauri]], as well as introducing new key signings such as Brazilian international [[Hernanes]].

==Personal==
Reja was born in the village of Lucinico ({{lang-sl|Ločnik}}) near the border between [[Italy]] and [[Slovenia]]. He was born into a [[Slovenes|Slovenian]] family and is a member of the Slovene minority in Italy.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2008/dicembre/04/Slovenia_cerca_Reja_come__ga_10_081204023.shtml |publisher=gazzetta.it |language=Italian |accessdate=24 January 2011 |title=La Slovenia cerca Reja come c.t}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.rtvslo.si/sport/nogomet/furlanija-zakladnica-najboljsih-trenerjev/121164 |publisher=rtvslo.si |language=Slovene |accessdate=24 January 2011 |title=Furlanija zakladnica najboljših trenerjev}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tportal.hr/sport/TcomPrvaHNL/32350/Trener-Hajduka-Nisam-Isusc-ne-ocekujte-cuda.html |publisher=tportal.hr |language=Croatian |accessdate=24 January 2011 |title=Trener Hajduka: Nisam Isus, ne očekujte čuda}}</ref> He is fluent in [[Slovenian language|Slovene]], [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Friulan language|Friulan]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/65112/video-reja-predstavljen-na-poljudu-menadzeri-mi-nece-sastavljati-momcad |publisher=nacional.hr |language=Croatian |accessdate=24 January 2011 |title=Video: Reja predstavljen na Poljudu: Menadžeri mi neće sastavljati momčad}}</ref><ref name=Capello_Reja>{{cite news |url=http://www.delo.si/clanek/124016 |publisher=delo.si |language=Slovene |accessdate=24 January 2011 |title=Capello: Pri Edyju Reji se govori slovensko}}</ref>

Married to Livia in 1969, he met his wife while rooming with [[Fabio Capello]] in [[Ferrara]]. Livia was close friends with Capello's future wife Laura but the romance only started when he discovered the guy he assumed was her boyfriend was actually her twin brother.<ref>Capello: Potrait of A Winner.

'''Claudio Ranieri''', (born 20 October 1951 in [[Rome]]) is a retired [[Italy|Italian]] [[Association football|footballer]] and current [[Coach (sport)|manager]] of [[A.S. Roma|AS Roma]].

==Club career==
Ranieri first signed as a professional football player with [[A.S. Roma|AS Roma]], though in his two seasons with the club he only made six appearances; he also had a one-month loan spell with [[U.S. Siracusa|Siracusa]]. As a player, Ranieri played most of his career as a defender for [[F.C. Catanzaro|Catanzaro]] (1974–1982), [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] (1982–1984), and [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] (1984–1986). He was involved in four successful promotion campaigns (two with Catanzaro and one each with Catania and Palermo).

==Managerial career==
===Campania, Cagliari===
After amateur side [[Vigor Lamezia]], his first managerial position was at [[F.C. Pozzuoli|Campania Puteolana]], a small team in [[Pozzuoli]]. He took charge there in [[1987]]. However, it was at [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] that he made his name, getting them promoted to [[Serie A]] from the third division [[Serie C1]] in successive seasons.

===Napoli===
He moved to coach at [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] for two seasons. Despite finishing in fourth place in [[Serie A]], he won no silverware. He did, however, introduce [[Gianfranco Zola]] to the first team to replace [[Diego Maradona]].

===Fiorentina===
He joined [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] in [[1993]], gaining promotion from [[Serie B]] in his first season. He subsequently had success in [[Serie A]], winning the [[Coppa Italia]] and [[SuperCoppa Italiana]] in [[1996]].

===Valencia – First spell===
In 1997, Ranieri moved to [[Spain]] to take over at [[Valencia CF]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/3786219.stm | work=BBC News | title=Valencia appoint Ranieri | date=8 June 2004 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref> He was the coach from [[1997]] to [[1999]] and guided [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] to the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the [[Copa del Rey]] in 1999. After his first spell, Ranieri left a popular man and has been credited for putting Valencia on the track to subsequent success in the Champions League and La Liga.

He was responsible for the development of several youth players at the club, among them [[Gaizka Mendieta]], [[Miguel Angel Angulo]], and [[Javier Farinós]]. Ranieri also signed some players who would become highly successful at the [[Mestalla]], among them goalkeeper [[Santiago Canizares]].

Ranieri's first spell at Valencia is widely regarded{{by whom|date=December 2010}} as a precursor of what would later happen at Chelsea, since both clubs achieved success which was in part attributable to the input of Ranieri.

===Atlético Madrid===
Ranieri joined the club in [[1999]]. During his time as manager at [[Atlético Madrid]], the club went into [[Administration (law)|administration]] and the team struggled on the pitch. Nearing the brink of relegation, Ranieri resigned before he could be sacked by the late Atletico chairman [[Jesus Gil]], who was well known for sacking managers.<ref>http://atleticopedia.atleticomadrid.de/en/index.php/Ranieri_Resigns_as_Atletico_Madrid_Coach</ref> Atletico would indeed go on to being relegated.

===Chelsea===
As head coach of [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] from 18 September 2000 to 31 May 2004, Ranieri worked hard to overcome the language barrier. When he arrived at the [[London]] club, he could speak only limited [[English language|English]]; fortunately, the club had a few players who could speak [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and could help translate for him on the training pitch. Ranieri's first season consisted of inconsistent results, with Chelsea reaching sixth place and a [[UEFA Cup]] spot.

Ranieri worked to rebuild Chelsea in the summer of 2001, essentially creating a brand new midfield by signing [[Frank Lampard]] from [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], [[Emmanuel Petit]] and [[Boudewijn Zenden]] from [[FC Barcelona]], and [[Jesper Grønkjær]] from [[Ajax Amsterdam]]. He also signed defender [[William Gallas]] from [[Olympique Marseille]], spending in total over £30 million. He was criticised, however, for both selling fan favourite [[Dennis Wise]] and the fact that Chelsea's league performance did not improve much on the previous season. They finished 6th once again but did reach the [[2003 FA Cup Final|FA Cup Final]], losing 2–0 to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].

During the [[2002-03 in English football|2002–03]] season and throughout his Chelsea days Ranieri was accused of over-rotating his squad, picking up the nickname of "the Tinkerman" from the British media. Chelsea finished the season on a high, qualifying for the Champions League after beating [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] 2–1 on the last day of the season. Ranieri's achievement, coming after a close season where the club were in a difficult financial situation and the only arrival was [[Enrique de Lucas]] from Espanyol on a [[free transfer]], was greatly appreciated by fans and the media alike. In addition, Ranieri succeeded in getting the best out of players like [[Samuele Dalla Bona]] and [[Mario Stanic]] and nurtured emerging talents in [[John Terry]], [[Robert Huth]], and [[Carlton Cole]].

When Chelsea were taken over by [[Russia]]n [[list of US-dollar billionaires|billionaire]] [[Roman Abramovich]] in [[2003]], Ranieri was given a large transfer fund but also found his job under threat. Days after the takeover, Abramovich was spotted meeting with [[England national football team|England]] manager [[Sven-Göran Eriksson]]. Although the club denied Eriksson would be taking over at the time, these rumours would haunt Ranieri's season. Ranieri spent £120 million on players in the summer of [[2003]]. These signings included [[Ireland|Irish]] winger [[Damien Duff]] for a then club record £17 million, [[England|English]] youngsters [[Wayne Bridge]], [[Joe Cole (footballer)|Joe Cole]], and [[Glen Johnson (English footballer)|Glen Johnson]], [[Argentina|Argentine]] pair [[Juan Sebastián Verón]] and [[Hernán Crespo]], [[France|Frenchman]] [[Claude Makélélé]] and [[Romania]]n star [[Adrian Mutu]].

The heavy investment brought the best league placing for the club in 49 years, finishing runners-up in the [[FA Premier League|Premier League]] to Arsenal, the first side in over a century to go an entire league season unbeaten. This position automatically qualified Chelsea for the Champions League. The club also reached the semi-finals of the [[UEFA Champions League]]. That season saw Chelsea break club records for the least number of goals conceded and highest number of points in a season.

Inconsistent results achieved during Ranieri's tenure left many at the club unsatisfied, as they expected instant success. Ranieri himself explained that it was difficult to mould so many new players into a team within a season and that he was "satisfied" with his work for the season. He was criticised for his poor tactical substitutions during the semi-finals of the Champions League against [[AS Monaco FC|AS Monaco]], when the team lost 3–1 in the away leg and, despite leading by two goals in the home leg, eventually drew 2–2 and went out 5–3 on aggregate. Former English footballer and pundit [[David Platt (footballer)|David Platt]] used the example of Ranieri to illustrate his observation that "building a team that can win the title and actually steering this team to the title are two different matters entirely." Some Chelsea fans did admire Ranieri for battling on despite being doomed to be eventually sacked by demanding owner [[Roman Abramovich]].{{who|date=December 2010}} It should also be noted that in Ranieri's four seasons Chelsea gained more points than the ever previous season. Chelsea favourites under Mourinho like [[John Terry]], [[Petr Čech]], [[Arjen Robben]], [[William Gallas]], [[Claude Makelele]], and [[Frank Lampard]] were all brought to Chelsea or nurtured by Ranieri.

On 31 May 2004, after almost a year of speculation, he was finally relieved of his coaching duties at Chelsea, and his job went to [[José Mourinho]], who had led [[F.C. Porto|FC Porto]] to successive European triumphs. He won the [[UEFA Cup]] in 2003 and then the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 2004, beating [[AS Monaco]] in the semi-finals.

Ranieri published in September 2004 a book named ''Proud Man Walking'' chronicling his last year at Chelsea. All proceeds went to [[London]]'s [[Great Ormond Street Hospital]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/ranieri-returns-to-popular-acclaim-but-sidesteps-chelseas-machiavellian-world-543380.html | work=The Independent | location=London | title=Ranieri returns to popular acclaim but sidesteps Chelsea's Machiavellian world | date=12 October 2004 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref>

===Return to Valencia===
On 8 June 2004, he returned for a second stint as coach of [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] on a three-year contract.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://edition.cnn.com/2004/SPORT/football/06/08/spain.ranieri/index.html | work=CNN}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref>

Ranieri took over after [[Rafael Benítez]], the manager who had led Valencia to the [[UEFA Cup]] and La Liga double the previous season, resigned and then promptly joined Liverpool. Ranieri made a series of signings from Serie A, including [[Marco Di Vaio]], [[Stefano Fiore]], [[Bernardo Corradi]], and [[Emiliano Moretti]]. After a bright start, in which the Mestalla outfit picked up 14 out of a possible 18 points and beat Porto to lift the European Super Cup, Valencia went into a slump starting in October. They won only once in 7 games and were knocked out of the Champions League, partly thanks to a 5–1 defeat to Inter in which midfielder [[Miguel Angulo]] was sent off for spitting. After a brief revival, Valencia went another 6 games without a win beginning mid-January. Apart from the unpopularity of his four Italian signings Ranieri was criticised for not playing Argentine playmaker [[Pablo Aimar]] and for persistent changes to formations and tactics, something resembling his Chelsea days.

He was sacked on 25 February 2005 after Valencia were knocked out of the [[UEFA Cup]] by [[FC Steaua Bucureşti|Steaua Bucharest]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4298283.stm | work=BBC News | title=Coach Ranieri sacked by Valencia | date=25 February 2005 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref> Valencia were sixth in [[La Liga]] at the time of Ranieri's sacking.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2005/feb/26/europeanfootball.sport | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Ranieri sacked by Valencia | first=Simon | last=Talbot | date=26 February 2005 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref>

[[Quique Sanchez Flores]] was announced by Valencia in June 2005 to be Ranieri's long term successor. Prior to that Ranieri had picked up £3million from Valencia for the premature termination of his contract.

===Parma===
On 12 February 2007, one day after the 23rd Serie A matchday, Ranieri was announced as the new [[Parma F.C.|Parma]] head coach following the sacking of [[Stefano Pioli]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6356587.stm Ranieri appointed coach of Parma]</ref> He lost his first game in charge against [[U.C. Sampdoria]] 1–0, but subsequently managed to make several impressive results to help Parma in the relegation battle, obtaining 17 points in 10 matches (to be compared to his predecessor's 15 points in 23 matches), including a 4–3 unexpected away win at [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] which caused the ''rosanero'' to sack their coach [[Francesco Guidolin]]. The impressive results continued in the run up to the end of the season and Parma avoided relegation, ending the season with a 3–1 win over [[Empoli F.C.|Empoli]] to finish at 12th position in the Serie A. The team started to hit some impressive goal-scoring form as well, seen in the 4–1 thrashing of [[F.C. Messina Peloro|Messina]] in early May.

After helping Parma escape from relegation, Ranieri was linked with several managing jobs, including [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]],<ref>[http://www.clubcall.com/index.jsp?storyID=314977 Ranieri lined up after Sven, KK snubs]</ref> [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]],<ref>[http://uk.reuters.com/article/footballNews/idUKL3101382220070531?feedType=RSS Ranieri linked with City after quitting Parma]</ref> and [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]].<ref>{{it icon}} [http://www.goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=288311 Palermo, per il futuro spunta Ranieri: "Prima salvo il Parma, poi si vedrà"]</ref> On 16 May 2007, [[William Hill (bookmaker)|William Hill]] suspended betting on him becoming Manchester City manager following a flurry of betting activity.<ref>[http://www.bettingzone.co.uk/football/betting/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=betting/07/05/16/manual_172331.html Ranieri set for City role]</ref> On 31 May, Parma announced Ranieri would not be the club's head coach for the following season.<ref>{{cite news |title=Parma announce Ranieri exit |url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may31s.html |publisher=Football Italia |date=2007-05-31 |accessdate=2007-05-31 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070602191752/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may31s.html  |archivedate = 2007-06-02}}</ref>

===Juventus===
On 4 June 2007, it was announced Ranieri would be taking over at [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]]. He signed a 3 year contract with the club.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ranieri appointed Juventus coach |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6719901.stm |publisher= BBC News |date= 2007-06-04 |accessdate=2007-06-04 | location=London}}</ref> The deal took effect on 1 July 2007.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ranieri is the new Juventus coach |url=http://www.juventus.com/uk/news/detail.aspx?lml_language_id=0&trs_id=1370000&ID=11454 |publisher= Juventus.com |date= 2007-06-04 |accessdate=2007-06-04 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070606070246/http://www.juventus.com/uk/news/detail.aspx?lml_language_id=0&trs_id=1370000&ID=11454  |archivedate = 2007-06-06}}</ref> Ranieri signed big names such as [[Iaquinta]] from [[Udinese]] and [[Grygera]] from [[AFC Ajax]]. His first season as manager of Juventus was fairly successful, as he guided the team to a 3rd place finish just one season after they had been competing in the [[Serie B 2006-07|Serie B]] following the [[Calciopoli|match-fixing scandal]] which rocked Italian football.<ref>http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=766523.html</ref>

In August 2008, Ranieri engaged in a war of words with new [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]] manager [[Jose Mourinho]], who had replaced him four years earlier at [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1525517.ece | location=London | work=The Sun | title=Ranieri raps Mourinhos style | date=7 August 2008}}</ref> He highlighted Inter as the strongest threat to Juventus in [[Serie A]]. After Juventus failed to register a win in seven matches during a two month period,<ref>http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/139/italy/2009/05/17/1270880/juventus-two-months-without-a-win-after-atalanta-draw</ref> he was said to have been under real pressure to maintain his job as head coach with many supporters of the club publicly criticising the team and in particular Ranieri. Speculation ended when, after having an emergency board meeting on the 18 May 2009, the board sacked Ranieri after Inter Milan were confirmed Champions. He was replaced by youth system chief [[Ciro Ferrara]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8056251.stm|title=Juventus dismiss manager Ranieri |date=2009-05-18|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=2009-05-18 | location=London}}</ref> Juventus finished the season 2nd, one place better than the previous season.

===Roma===
On 1 September 2009, Ranieri was signed as the new manager of [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] on a two year contract, succeeding [[Luciano Spalletti]], who had resigned that day after opening the 2009–10 season with two defeats.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8231959.stm|title=Ranieri appointed new Roma coach |date=2009-09-02|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-09-02 | location=London}}</ref> Thus, Rome-born Ranieri became head coach of the football club which he had supported since childhood.

Under his guidance, Roma dramatically improved their performances and thrust themselves into the championship battle, reducing the gap between themselves and leaders [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]] to only one point after Ranieri's team defeated the ''nerazzurri'' of José Mourinho in Week 31. Roma then went on to win two more games consecutively and overtook Inter by Week 33, thanks to a 2–1 home win against [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]] and Inter's 2–2 draw against [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]. This left the ''giallorossi'' on the top of the table with five games remaining. Roma then extended its unbeaten run to 23 games and also maintained first place in the league table by winning a heated derby against crosstown rivals [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]]. Ranieri was hailed by the press for substituting local heroes [[Francesco Totti]] and [[Daniele De Rossi]] during half-time, while Roma was losing 1–0; the ''Giallorossi'' then won the game 2–1 thanks to two second-half goals from [[Mirko Vučinić]].

'''Siniša Mihajlović''' ({{lang-sr|Синиша Михајловић}}; born February 20, 1969) is a [[Serbia]]n former [[football (soccer)|football]] player turned manager, currently in charge of [[Serie A]] club [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] since June 2010.<ref name="mihajlovic_fiorentina">{{cite news |url=http://it.violachannel.tv/dettaglio-ultimora/items/id-1.4339.html|publisher=ACF Fiorentina |language=Italian |accessdate=2010-06-03 |date=2010-06-03 |title=Presentazione Sinisa Mihajlovic}}</ref>

Mihajlović has 63 caps and scored 11 goals for the [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslav]] and [[Serbia and Montenegro national football team|Serbia and Montenegro national team]]. He played in the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] and [[UEFA Euro 2000]] tournaments.

He is considered one of the best free kick takers of all time,<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1168803/THE-LIST-The-10-free-kick-kings-history.html THE LIST: The top 10 free-kick kings in history]</ref><ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/the-ten-best-freekick-specialists-1785081.html?action=Popup&ino=8 The Ten Best Free-Kick Specialists, Number 8]</ref> and holds the all-time Serie A free-kick record with 38 goals scored from free-kicks during his fourteen seasons in the top Italian league.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2007/may/31/onsecondthoughtssinisamiha Sinister Sinisa's moment of truth];Jonathan Wilson's Blog @ guardian.co.uk, 31 May 2007</ref>

==Early life==
Born in [[Vukovar]], [[SR Croatia]], near the border of [[SR Serbia]], Mihajlović was born to parents who identified as [[Yugoslavs]]. His father Bogdan originates from a [[Serb]] family and his mother Viktorija has a [[Croats|Croatian]] - [[Gypsy]] family background.<ref name="InterXI">Internazionale Magazine XI, 2004, Seba & Sinisa: {{sr icon}}"On je sin Hrvatice i Srbina".</ref> The family lived in Vukovar borough of [[Borovo Naselje]].

He was part of the golden generation of Yugoslav players who won the [[1987 FIFA World Youth Championship]] in [[Chile]], but was not selected in the team that went for the tournament.

==Playing career==
At club level, Mihajlović started his career in [[SFR Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]], playing for [[NK Borovo]] (1986–1988), [[FK Vojvodina|Vojvodina Novi Sad]] (1988–1991), and [[Red Star Belgrade]] (1991–92). He won the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] in the 1990–91 season with Red Star Belgrade. In the final, Red Star defeated [[Olympique de Marseille]] on penalties, after a 0–0 draw at full time, with Mihajlović being one of the scorers. Mihajlović was also in the team later that year when [[Red Star Belgrade]] won the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]], defeating [[Colo Colo]] 3–0.

In 1992, Mihajlović moved abroad to play for [[Italy|Italian]] club [[A.S. Roma|Roma]]. He played two seasons at Roma, helping the club finish 10th and 7th in the [[Serie A]] championship. In 1994, he joined defending Serie A [[bronze medal]]ists from [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]]. In his four seasons at Sampdoria, Mihajlović saw limited success in the Serie A. In the European competitions, however, he helped Sampdoria reach the semi-final of the 1995 [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]], where they were defeated by [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]. In June 1998, Mihajlović represented Yugoslavia at the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]], playing all Yugoslav matches in the tournament. He scored a goal against [[Iran national football team|Iran]], and conceded an [[own goal]] against [[Germany national football team|Germany]]. This made Mihajlović one of only four players to score both a goal and an own goal in the World Cup; the other ones being [[Ernie Brandts]], [[Ruud Krol]], and [[Gustavo Peña]].

In the summer 1998, Mihajlović was brought to [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] by manager [[Sven-Göran Eriksson]]. He won his first trophy in Italy in 1998, as Lazio beat [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] in the [[Supercoppa Italiana]]. With Lazio, Mihajlović reached the final of the 1999 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, winning the last edition of that competition with a 2–1 victory against [[RCD Mallorca]]. Lazio also won the 1999 [[UEFA Super Cup]]. Playing 26 games and scoring seven goals during the [[Serie A 1999–2000]] season as Lazio won the second ''Scudetto'' in club history. Mihajlović completed the double by helping Lazio win the 2000 [[Coppa Italia]]. Mihajlović represented Yugoslavia internationally again, as he selected to compete at the [[2000 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2000]] tournament. In the first Yugoslav game of the tournament, Mihajlović was sent off against [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]]. He served a one-game suspension before playing the last two games of the tournament.

In December 2000, Mihajlovic came under investigation following alleged racist remarks towards [[Patrick Vieira]]. The remarks fell during an October 2000 match against Arsenal in the [[UEFA Champions League]]. The racist remarks were revealed to be "black shit," which Mihajlović conveyed back to Patrick Vieira, in English. Mihajlović subsequently apologized, but contended that his words were in retaliation to Vieira's racist remarks, calling Mihajlović a "gypsy shit."<ref name = "marcotti">Gabriele Marcotti, [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/gabriele_marcotti/news/2001/01/02/marcotti_insider/ Making Mihajlovic into a villain not really fair], CNN Sports Illustrated, 2 January 2001.</ref> On 7 November 2003, Mihajlović received an eight match suspension by [[UEFA]] for spitting at and kicking [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]'s [[Adrian Mutu]] during a Champions League game.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/champions_league/3251405.stm Uefa bans Mihajlovic], BBC Sport, 7 November 2003.</ref> He won his last trophy with Lazio in 2004, beating Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.

In the summer 2004, Mihajlović was released from Lazio and joined his friend and former teammate [[Roberto Mancini]] at [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]] on a free transfer, signing a one-year deal. On 9 April 2006, in a league away game versus [[Ascoli Calcio 1898|Ascoli]], Mihajlović scored his 27th career [[Direct free kick|free-kick]] goal in the [[Serie A]] championship. Mihajlović ended his playing career after the 2005–06 season, aged 37, having one Serie A championship, two Coppa Italia trophies and a Supercoppa Italia title as an Inter player.

==Coaching==
After retiring from playing at [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]], Mihajlović right away began a coaching career at the club as assistant to head coach [[Roberto Mancini]]. Mihajlović and Mancini share a longtime friendship after playing together at Sampdoria and Lazio.

Mihajlović's free-kick expertise has been praised by [[Zlatan Ibrahimović]],<ref>[http://www.footballpress.net/?action=read&idsel=46855 Ibrahimovic: " Mihajlovic teached (sic) me how to score from free kicks"]</ref> who after several successful free-kicks in thanked the then assistant coach Mihajlović who had trained him for 2 years at Inter.<ref>{{swe icon}}[http://www.fotbollsverige.se/news_show_tranade-frisparkar-med-mihajlovic.html?id=8834668 Tränade frisparkar med Mihajlovic] Goal.com interview</ref>

Mancini was fired in June 2008 by club president [[Massimo Moratti]] at the end of the [[2007–08 Serie A|2007–08 season]] to make way for [[Jose Mourinho]] and Mihajlović left the club on the same occasion.

===Bologna===
On 3 November 2008, Mihajlović was appointed to replace [[Daniele Arrigoni]] at the helm of Serie A relegation-battling club [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]].<ref name="mihajlovic_bologna">{{cite news|publisher=Bologna FC 1909|url=http://www.bolognafc.it/pagen.asp?c=4915&m=11&l=1|title=Il Bologna a Mihajlovic|date=2008-11-03|accessdate=2008-11-03|language=Italian}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> His Serie A bench debut came on 8 November 2008 at home versus [[A.S. Roma|Roma]]. The match ended in a 1–1 draw. His arrival to Bologna bench was characterized by five consecutive league draws before finally winning a match, a 5–2 victory against fellow bottom-feeder rivals [[Torino F.C.|Torino]] on 13 December 2008.

Mihajlović was sacked by Bologna on 14 April 2009 in the wake of a 4–1 home defeat against [[A.C. Siena|Siena]], which dragged the team back into the relegation zone with seven matches remaining in the season. His tenure suffered from media rumours that he had numerous high-profile disagreements with senior players at the club which led to the poor form that eventually cost him the job.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/04/14/1208405/breaking-news-bologna-sack-sinisa-mihajlovic-appoint-giuseppe-pa Official: Bologna Sack Sinisa Mihajlovic, Appoint Giuseppe Papadopulo]</ref> Under new head coach [[Giuseppe Papadopulo]], Bologna avoided relegation to the [[Serie B]] on the last day of the season with a win over [[Calcio Catania|Catania]].

===Catania===
On December 8, 2009 Mihajlović was appointed new head coach of [[Calcio Catania|Catania]], taking over from [[Gianluca Atzori]].
<ref name="mihajlovic_catania">{{cite news |url=http://calciocatania.net/comunicati/comunicati.php?id=18160|language=Italian |publisher=Calcio Catania|accessdate=2009-12-08 |date=2009-12-08 |title=Sinisa Mihajlovic è il nuovo allenatore del Catania}}</ref> He signed a contract until June 2011 with ''gli elefanti''.<ref>[http://www.ontheminute.com/news/news.php?news=19748 Mihajlovic confirmed as new Catania coach]</ref> Arriving at the club that was dead last in Serie A standings, Mihajlović made his debut with a home loss versus relegation rivals [[A.S. Livorno Calcio|Livorno]]. However, the following week, his team pulled off a stunning upset by beating heavily favoured Juventus away in Turin with a 1–2 scoreline.<ref>[http://www.b92.net/sport/intervjui/intervjui.php?yyyy=2009&mm=12&nav_category=91&nav_id=399623 Mihajlović za B92: „Verovao sam u pobedu“, B92, December 21, 2009]</ref>

A successive string of good results, together with a number of key January signings such as former Argentine international striker [[Maxi López]], helped Mihajlović keep the team out of the relegation zone and provide a number of very impressive performances. Another season highlight then came on March 13, 2010, as Catania achieved a historic 3–1 win to Serie A league-toppers and Mihajlović's former team [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]].

Led by Mihajlović, Catania finished the season in 13th spot, well out of the relegation zone.

He resigned at the end of the season on May 24, 2010 amid reports linking him to incumbent [[UEFA Champions League]] winners Inter as a replacement for outgoing boss [[José Mourinho]],<ref name="mihajlovic_catania_resigned">{{cite news |url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Catania/24-05-2010/mihajlovic-saluta-catania-604106965941.shtml|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |language=Italian |accessdate=2010-05-24 |date=2010-05-24 |title=Mihajlovic saluta Catania C'è l'Inter dietro l'angolo}}</ref> which did not bring to anything in the end.

===Fiorentina===
On June 3, 2010 he was announced as new head coach of [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]], replacing outgoing [[Cesare Prandelli]] who left the Tuscan club to become new [[Italy national football team]] manager.<ref name="mihajlovic_fiorentina" />

'''Pasquale Marino''' (born July 13, 1962 in [[Marsala]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] football [[head coach|coach]], who currently manages [[Parma F.C.|Parma]] in the Italian [[Serie A]] division.

==Playing career==
In his playing career, started for his home team, [[S.C. Marsala 1912|Marsala]], Marino never played in divisions higher than [[Serie C|Serie C1]], and ended his career for [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] in 1996/1997.

==Coaching career==
His coaching career begun in 1997/1998 for [[Serie D]] team [[F.C. Milazzo|Milazzo]], where he nearly won the league at his debut, ending in second place. However, his outbreak came at [[A.C.D. Paternò 2004|Paternò]], which he led on two consecutive promotions from Serie D to Serie C1. He then signed for Serie C2 [[U.S. Foggia|Foggia]], which he led to an immediate Serie C1 promotion. He made his [[Serie B]] debut in 2004/2005 with [[U.S. Arezzo|Arezzo]], replacing [[Mario Somma]]. Fired in the half-season and replaced by [[Marco Tardelli]], he was successively recalled at the helm of the team, ending in 14th place.

In 2005 he became coach of [[Calcio Catania]]: in his first season for the ''rossoblu'', Marino brought the team back to [[Serie A]] after over 20 years. He also coached Catania in its [[Serie A 2006-07|2006–07 Serie A campaign]]. After a very impressive start that brought Catania up to the highest table positions, Catania experienced a negative streak following the [[2007 Catania football violence|riots in the Sicilian derby]] which caused the death of a policeman and resulted in the [[Stadio Angelo Massimino|Catania home stadium]] to be disqualified for the remainder of the season. After Catania saved in the last matchday, thanks to a 2–1 win to relegation rivals [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo]], Marino announced he was going to leave his post. He later signed a four-year contract with [[Udinese]]. Speaking to SkyItalia in the post-match interview, Marino didn't hide his disappointment following the lacklustre display by his side against bottom placed Reggina. “We were awful this afternoon, and despite having a numerical advantage, it seemed as if we were the team playing in nine men," snarled Marino. "I am very disappointed with the display, despite the positive result. I certainly was not expecting such a poor display from my men today, as I expect everyone to give their all when they put on the Zebrette shirt.”<ref>http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/04/12/1205554/udineses-marino-unhappy-despite-reggina-victory
Retrieved on 2009-14-04 </ref>

He was stripped of his managerial duties on December 22, 2009, as Udinese failed to impress in the first half of the 2009–10 season, and was replaced by [[Gianni De Biasi]].<ref name="debiasi_udinese">{{cite news |url=http://www.udinese.it/script/view.php?id=42|language=Italian |publisher=Udinese Calcio|accessdate=2009-12-22 |date=2009-12-22 |title=Comunicato Udinese Calcio}}</ref> He was appointed back at the helm of Udinese on February 21, 2010, after De Biasi was sacked due to poor results.<ref name="marino_udinese_2">{{cite news |url=http://www.udinese.it/script/view_flsh_news.php?id=182|language=Italian |publisher=Udinese Calcio|accessdate=2010-02-21 |date=2010-02-21 |title=L'Udinese riaffida la guida tecnica della Prima Squadra al Signor Pasquale Marino}}</ref>

On June 2010 he was appointed new head coach of [[Parma F.C.|Parma]], replacing [[Francesco Guidolin]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-news/6951-pasquale-marino-al-parma-domani-306-presentazione-ufficiale.html |publisher=Parma FC |language=Italian |accessdate=2 June 2010|date=2 June 2010|title=Pasquale Marino al Parma – Domani, 3/06 presentazione ufficiale}}</ref>

Marino is considered amongst the most promising and interesting young Italian football managers, and is widely known for his attacking 3–4–3 (or 4–3–3) style, reminiscent of that used by [[Zdenek Zeman]].

'''Alberto Malesani''' (born June 5, 1954 in [[Verona]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[association football]] manager, currently is in charge of [[Serie A]] club [[Bologna F.C.|Bologna]].

==Career==
===Early career and breakthrough at Chievo===
[[Image:Malesani.jpg|thumb|A young Malesani during his first stint as Chievo head coach]]
Malesani career as player was mostly spent on a [[Verona|Veronese]] amateur team Audace S. Michele, where he obtained a promotion from [[Serie D]] to [[Serie C]] in 1976–77, appearing fourteen times on that season.<ref>{{it icon}} [http://www.hellastory.net/pages/scheda.cfm?id=7D590D79-4854-12EA-BD663F99594DEB70 HELLASTORY.net | La Scheda di Alberto Malesani]</ref> He retired from playing football at the age of 24, and worked at [[Canon (company)|Canon]] in [[Amsterdam]], where he studied the [[Ajax Amsterdam]] [[total football]] training methods.<ref>[http://www.tifonet.it/fiore/malesani/bio.htm Alberto Malesani – l'antipersonaggio (la biografia)]</ref> His passion for coaching was so great, that on his honeymoon, he decided to go to [[Barcelona]] in order to watch [[Johan Cruijff]]'s coaching sessions at [[Barcelona FC]].

Malesani left his job at Canon in 1990 order to pursue a coaching career at [[Serie C1]] team [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo Verona]] for the ''Allievi'' youth squad. In 1991, he is assistant of head coach [[Carlo De Angelis]] in the first team, and in 1993 he becomes head coach himself. His first season as head coach ended in a historical promotion to [[Serie B]] for then-unknown Chievo Verona.

===Fiorentina, Parma and UEFA Cup triumph===
Malesani left Chievo in 1997, after three impressive Serie B seasons and a narrowly missed promotion in the Serie A league in order to become [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]'s boss, in what was his first stint in the Italian top flight.

A good Fiorentina season convinced [[Parma F.C.|Parma]] to appoint Malesani as new head coach in 1998, where he won a [[Coppa Italia]], a [[UEFA Cup]], an [[Italian Super Cup]] and obtained two fourth places before being sacked in 2000–01.

===Recent years===
After losing his job at Parma, Malesani then coached [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] and [[Modena F.C.|Modena]], failing to save the clubs from relegation in both cases; successively he moved abroad to coach [[Greece|Greek]] side [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]], still with little success. During coaching [[Panathinaikos FC]], the Greek sport press was constantly criticizing his tactics. After a home draw against [[Iraklis FC]] and during the post match press conference, Malesani had an unforgettable outburst of temper [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQm9RJfoVoA] (very similar to [[Giovanni Trapattoni]]'s during his career in [[FC Bayern]]) against the fans and journalists. Notably, he angrily attacked the journalists pronouncing 21 times the word ''cazzo'' ([[penis|dick]], used as an expletive in Italian).<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQm9RJfoVoA '''Warning:''' Rough language – subtitles supplied in Greek</ref> He also made some unfortunate comments concerning the supporting fanbase for heavily criticizing the [[Giannis Vardinogiannis|Vardinogiannis]] family (sole owners of the club at the time), although he was unaware of the long standing rivalry of the majority of the team's fans against them, blaming them for being incompetent to lead the club successfully.

Malesani was appointed coach of [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] on January 2007, as replacement for [[Giovanni Galeone]]. He led his side to a not particularly impressive tenth place in the [[Serie A 2006-07]] final table, only seven points far from relegation, being not confirmed for the following season. On November 27, 2007 he was unveiled as [[Empoli F.C.|Empoli]]'s new head coach, replacing [[Luigi Cagni]].<ref name="cagni_sacked">{{cite news|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov26p.html|date=2007-11-26|accessdate=2007-11-27|publisher=Football Italia|title=Empoli axe Cagni |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20071128121509/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov26p.html  |archivedate = 2007-11-28}}</ref> He was axed on March 31, 2008 following a 2–0 home defeat to [[U.C.

'''Leonardo Nascimento de Araújo''', known simply as '''Leonardo''' (born 5 September 1969 in [[Niterói]], [[Brazil]]), is a [[Association football|football]] [[coach (sport)|manager]] and a former [[midfielder]], serving as head coach of [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]].
He played for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], and formerly served as player and [[Manager (football)|manager]] of [[Italy|Italian]] side [[A.C. Milan|Milan]]. He played in the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 World Cup]] winning side, as well as the runners up team in [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998]].

==Club career==
Leonardo began his career with the Brazilian club [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] in 1987; at just 17, he was given the opportunity to play with his hero [[Zico]] plus [[José Leandro Ferreira|Leandro]], [[Bebeto]] and [[Renato Gaúcho]], and to take part in winning his first Brazilian championship. In 1990, Leonardo signed with [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo FC]], and in 1991, Leonardo, [[Raí]], and other young talents were assembled as part of the so-called 'esquadrão tricolor' ("three-coloured squad") under the command of Brazilian legend [[Telê Santana]], giving Leonardo his second Brazilian championship.

Later that year, he made the switch to European football, signing with the [[Spain|Spanish]] club [[Valencia CF]]. After two seasons with Valencia, he returned to Brazil for a brief stint with São Paulo in 1993, during which time the team won several titles, including the prestigious [[Copa Libertadores]] and [[International Cup]].

In 1994, after the [[FIFA World Cup 1994|World Cup]], Leonardo signed with the [[Kashima Antlers]] of the newly-formed [[J. League]]. Leonardo continued his success in Kashima, again playing with his idol and friend Zico. In 1996, he returned to Europe, this time signing with [[Ligue 1|French]] club [[Paris Saint-Germain|Paris St Germain]], where he again proved to be successful, one of his goals helping them to oust [[Liverpool FC|Liverpool]] out of the semi-finals of the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]].

At this point in his career, Leonardo had mostly stopped playing as a leftback and moved into the [[midfield]], sometimes on the left, sometimes as a [[playmaker]]. Already in [[Japan]], this had resulted in some spectacular goals<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSlNU59SP-E Leonardo Nascimento de Araújo – AMAZING GOAL] YouTube</ref> for Leonardo, a trend which continued in [[Europe]].

In the summer of 1997 he signed with [[Serie A|Italian]] team [[A.C. Milan]], for 8.5 million euros from PSG. With Milan he became a prominent part of a star-studded lineup. He played four full seasons, scoring 22 goals<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjVqHg3xD0A Leonardo Araujo Milan] YouTube</ref> and playing 177 games for Milan, before returning to Brazil with [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo FC]] and [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]]. He later returned to Milan and finished his career with them in 2003.

==International career==
Leonardo made his international debut in 1990. He was selected as a [[leftback]] for the [[1994 World Cup]], keeping the young [[Roberto Carlos (footballer)|Roberto Carlos]] out of the team, much to his chagrin. Leonardo played well in the first games but was then given a four-match suspension for elbowing the [[United States men's national soccer team|American]] midfielder [[Tab Ramos]], resulting in a broken [[malar bone]]. The stricken Ramos had to stay in hospital for three and a half months afterwards. Leonardo's suspension prevented him from participating in the remainder of the competition. It was the second longest ban imposed in World Cup history, after [[Mauro Tassotti]]'s eight-game suspension for breaking the nose of [[Luis Enrique Martínez García|Luis Enrique]] at the same tournament.

In 1997, Leonardo was given the Number 10 shirt for the national team. He was an important member of the team that won the [[Copa America]] in 1997.

Leonardo played all seven games in his second [[1998 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]], helping Brazil to a second-place finish. In the second opening round match against [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]], he netted one shot and began celebrating, but was later called off-side. He was last selected to play for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]] qualifying campaign and ended his career with 60 [[cap (sport)|caps]] and 8 goals for Brazil.

==Post-playing career==
Since 2002, Leonardo has dedicated himself to social works with the ''Fundação Gol de Letra'' and ''Fondazione Milan''.

Leonardo worked for [[BBC Television]] in the [[United Kingdom]] during the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]], as one of their ''[[Match of the Day]]'' analysts, alongside another former World Cup winner [[Marcel Desailly]]. He appeared again as a ''Match of the Day'' analyst on 1 June 2007 alongside [[Alan Hansen]] and [[Alan Shearer]]. This was the first [[England national football team|England]] game at the new [[Wembley Stadium]] finishing 1–1 with Brazil.

Since Leonardo stopped playing for Milan he has become a sort of combination of scout and agent for the club in Brazil and the great respect he enjoys in his homeland has helped Milan to land several world-class players. He was instrumental in the process of getting [[Kaká]] to Milan and in July 2007 it was revealed that Leonardo had been one of the main factors in convincing [[Alexandre Pato]] to sign for Milan.

== Coaching career ==
In December 2007, he was interviewed for the vacant position of director of football at [[FA Premier League|English Premier League]] side, [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]].<ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2007/12/05/hammers-target-leonardo-89520-20205300/ Hammers target Leonardo] Mirror.co.uk, 5 December 2007</ref>

===Milan===
In early 2008 he was appointed Technical Director of his former club [[A.C. Milan]]. Later the same year he obtained Italian citizenship, after twelve years in Italy as a resident.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2008/dicembre/17/Leonardo_cittadino_italiano_ga_10_081217107.shtml |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |title=Leonardo è cittadino italiano |accessdate=31 May 2009|date=17 December 2008|language=Italian}}</ref>

After [[Carlo Ancelotti]] left Milan to become the manager of [[Chelsea F.C.]] at the end of May 2009, Leonardo was named head coach of Milan<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/8043480.stm Ancelotti leaves job at AC Milan] BBC Sport, 1 June 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=86050 ARRIVEDERCI CARLETTO!] AC Milan, 2 June 2009</ref> despite still lacking the required coaching badges (he was set to attend a UEFA A coaching course on June 2009).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.settoretecnico.figc.it/news.aspx?c=15&n=316 |publisher=Settore Tecnico FIGC |language=Italian |accessdate=21 May 2009|date=9 April 2009|title=Ammessi Corso Seconda Cat. Uefa A 2008/2009}}</ref> He was however exempted from requiring a UEFA Pro license, which is mandatory for Italian Serie A managers, due to being a former World Cup winner as a player.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://it.eurosport.yahoo.com/01062009/45/serie-nuova-era-milan-benvenuto-leonardo.html |publisher=Yahoo!

After a poor start of season, featuring a shock 0–4 loss to [[Milan derby|crosstown rivals]] [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]], that started speculation about his possible dismissal from the head coaching post at Milan, results started improving for the ''rossoneri'' under Leonardo, also thanks to the application of a 4–2–1–3 tactic (nicknamed also "4-2-fantasy" by Milan vice-president [[Adriano Galliani]]). This tactic, quite unusual on Italian football, and greatly focusing on creative players such as [[Ronaldinho]], [[Andrea Pirlo]] and [[Clarence Seedorf]], led Milan to improved results at both Serie A and UEFA Champions League level, including a remarkable 3–2 win at [[Santiago Bernabeu Stadium]] against [[Real Madrid]] and a 3–0 away win to [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] which enabled Leonardo's side to finish in second place at the half-way point of the season, six points shy of leaders [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]] with a game in hand. However, the path to UEFA Champions League final was halted prematurely as Milan was eliminated in the first knockout round by [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in a 2–7 aggregate loss (2–3, 0–4).

In the final weeks of the seasons, it was speculated that Leonardo could leave Milan at the end of the season. In April 2010, Leonardo confirmed divergences with club owner and Italian [[Prime Minister of Italy|Prime Minister]] [[Silvio Berlusconi]], defining their relationship as "difficult".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8651983.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |accessdate=1 May 2010|date=30 April 2010|title=Coach Leonardo unsure over his future with AC Milan }}</ref> It was confirmed that Leonardo would leave Milan by mutual agreement after their season ending game against Juventus.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2010/05/14/1924556/leonardo-confirms-he-will-leave-milan-official Leonardo Confirms He Will Leave Milan – OFFICIAL] goal.com, 14 May 2010</ref> Leonardo waved an emotional goodbye to a packed [[San Siro]], as he managed his side's last game with a 3–0 win against [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]].

===Internazionale===
On 24 December 2010, after days of speculation, it was confirmed Leonardo would take over as head coach of fresh [[FIFA Club World Cup]] champions [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]], replacing [[Rafael Benítez]] in a somewhat controversial move, due to the Brazilian's long career with [[Derby della Madonnina|rivals]] Milan as both player and manager; he agreed a 18-month contract due to expire on 30 June 2012.<ref name="leonardo_inter">{{cite news |url=http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=50792&L=it |publisher=FC Internazionale Milano |language=Italian |accessdate=24 December 2010 |date=24 December 2010 |title=Benvenuto!: Leonardo allenatore dell'Inter}}</ref>

'''Giuseppe Iachini''' (born 7 May 1964 in [[Ascoli Piceno]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[football (soccer)|football]] coach and former player.

==Playing career==
Iachini started his playing career at [[Ascoli Calcio 1898|Ascoli]], and made his [[Serie A]] and professional debut in 1981–1982, at the age of 17. He played for Ascoli until 1987, when he signed for [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]].

In 1989, Iachini moved to [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] and played five seasons with the ''viola'', four of them in Serie A. From 1994 to 1996 he played for [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] of [[Serie B]]. After a single Serie B season with [[Ravenna Calcio|Ravenna]], in 1997 Iachini transferred to [[S.S.C. Venezia|Venezia]], where he played for three years, two of them in Serie A. He retired in 2001, after a [[Serie C1]] season with [[U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria]].

==Managing career==
Iachini started his coaching career in October 2001, when he was called to coach [[S.S.C. Venezia|Venezia]] of [[Serie A]], despite not being in possession of a coaching license yet. Assisted by "official" head coach [[Alfredo Magni]], Iachini left his position as assistant coach at [[Piacenza Calcio|Piacenza]] in order to join Venezia, in spite of the Italian football regulation laws, and was successively disqualified for six months because of that. In the end, Venezia were relegated to [[Serie B]].

In 2002–2003, Iachini coached [[A.C. Cesena|Cesena]] of [[Serie C1]], leading his team to a spot in the promotion playoffs. In 2003–2004, Iachini moved at [[Vicenza Calcio|Vicenza]], in Serie B, where he managed a team composed mostly by youngsters and led them to a mid-table place. He coached [[Piacenza Calcio|Piacenza]], another Serie B club, from 2004–05 to [[Serie B 2006-07|2006–07]] with good results, including a notable fourth place, only behind [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]], [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] and [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]], in his latest season with the ''biancorossi''. He was announced on June 2007 as new [[A.C. ChievoVerona|ChievoVerona]] boss for their [[Serie B 2007-08|2007–08 Serie B campaign]], and successfully led the ''gialloblu'' to become league champions and promptly mark their return in the top flight.

On November 4, 2008, following an unimpressive start in the 2008–09 Serie A campaign, and two days after a 3–0 loss to [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]], Iachini was dismissed from his coaching post by the club management.<ref name="dicarlo_chievo">{{cite news|publisher=AC ChievoVerona|url=http://www.chievoverona.it/societa/notizia.aspx?P=0&tipo=N&ID=8136|title=LA SQUADRA AFFIDATA A DOMENICO DI CARLO.

===Brescia Calcio ===
On October 4, 2009 he was appointed new head coach of [[Serie B]] outfit [[Brescia Calcio|Brescia]], replacing [[Alberto Cavasin]].<ref name="iachini_brescia">{{cite news |url=http://www.bresciaonline.it/or4/or?uid=BOLesy.main.index&oid=608375&uidx_15=BOLappl.news.dettaglio&idnews=1537294&is_popup=0|language=Italian |publisher=Brescia Calcio |accessdate=2009-10-04 |date=2009-10-04 |title=Ufficiale, esonerato Alberto Cavasin }}</ref> Under his tenure, Brescia ended the regular season in third place, missing automatic promotion in the final game of the season. The team however went back to win the promotion playoffs and claim a place in the [[2010–11 Serie A]] after defeating [[Torino F.C.]] in the finals.

After a wave of bad results, resulting on the team's dropdown to the relegation zone near the winter, on 6 December 2010, he was sacked;<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bresciacalcio.it/home/681-ufficiale-esonerato-giuseppe-iachini.html |title=Ufficiale: esonerato Giuseppe Iachini |publisher=[[Brescia Calcio]] |date=6 December 2010 |accessdate=6 December 2010 |language=Italian}}</ref> However he was called back at the helm of Brescia boss less than two months later, following the dismissal of his successor [[Mario Beretta]] on 30 January 2011.<ref name="beretta_sacked">{{cite news |url=http://www.bresciacalcio.it/home/870-ufficiale-esonerato-beretta-iachini-torna-alla-guida.html |publisher=Brescia Calcio |language=Italian |accessdate=30 January 2011 |date=30 January 2011 |title=Ufficiale: esonerato Beretta.

'''Francesco Guidolin''' (born October 3, 1955 in [[Castelfranco Veneto]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[association football|football]] manager and former player, currently serving as head coach of [[Serie A]] outfit [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].

==Playing career==
Guidolin made his professional debut with then-[[Serie A]] club [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] in 1975, with whom then spent most of his career, except for a number of loan moves to clubs [[S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio|Sambenedettese]], [[A.C. Pistoiese|Pistoiese]] and [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]]. He retired in 1986 after two seasons with [[Serie C2]] club [[S.S.C. Venezia|Venezia]].

Guidolin also appeared with the [[Italy national under-21 football team|Italian Under-21 team]] between 1976 and 1977.

==Coaching career==
===Early years===
Guidolin debuted in a managing role in 1988, as head coach of [[Serie C2]] team [[Giorgione Calcio|Giorgione]], the main club of his native city, Castelfranco Veneto. He then coached teams such as [[Treviso F.B.C. 1993|Treviso]] (Serie C2), [[Fano Calcio|Fano]], [[Empoli F.C.|Empoli]] and [[Ravenna Calcio|Ravenna]] (all in Serie C1). After having led Ravenna to a [[Serie B]] promotion, Guidolin was successively appointed in 1993 as coach of [[Serie A]] team [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]], but he did not achieve great success and he was fired after just 10 matches.

===Vicenza: from Serie B to Europe===
The next season, Guidolin joined [[Vicenza Calcio|Vicenza]], leading the team from [[Serie B]] to win the [[Coppa Italia]] in 1997 and even reaching the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] semi-final on his first adventure at the European level, then lost to [[Gianluca Vialli]]'s [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], in 1998. He also guided Vicenza to top the Serie A league table for a short period throughout the 1996–97 season, leading therefore the ''biancorossi'' back to the top level after a period of decline, winning the first domestic trophy ever for the club and gaining only the second appearance in a European competition for the club.

===Udinese and Bologna===
In 1998, after four years of impressive results with Vicenza, Guidolin accepted the head coaching position at [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] for the [[Serie A 1998-99|1998–99]], guiding the club to a mid-table placement but being fired only days before the kick-off of the following [[Serie A 1999-00|1999–2000]] campaign.

On November 1999, Guidolin was hired by [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]], a former team of his as a player, to replace [[Sergio Buso]]. In hisi first campaign for the ''rossoblu'', he guided his side to eleventh place in the Serie A table, also leading the club's [[UEFA Cup]] campaign up to the third round of the competition.

The 2000–01 campaign ended with another mid-table placement, in ninth place; a small improvement also appeared in the 2001–02 campaign, ended in seventh place and qualification to the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]], where his side was defeated by [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] in the finals.

The 2002–03 season, started with good results, ended in a disappointing eleventh place and high criticism of Guidolin, which raised even more after the head coach made him escape an insulting phrase about the city of Bologna<ref>{{cite news |url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2003/04/14/lo-sport-volte-proprio-atroce.html |publisher=La Repubblica |accessdate=2010-02-07 |date=2003-04-14 |title=Lo sport a volte è proprio atroce |language=Italian}}</ref> during a league match.

===First stint with Palermo===
Guidolin, after six months of inactivity, was appointed to replace [[Silvio Baldini]] at the helm of [[Serie B]] team [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] in January 2004. He then successfully conducted the team to win the league, bringing the ''rosanero'' back to the top flight after 35 years in the lower ranks.

He also guided Palermo for their historic first Serie A campaign in the new millennium, ended with the club's first [[UEFA Cup]] qualification ever, but then opted to leave the club for the end of the season.

===Abroad with AS Monaco===
Guidolin was then appointed as [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] head coach; however, after the team was relegated to Serie C1 by the Football Federation because of alleged fixing, Guidolin rescinded his contract. He was appointed coach of [[AS Monaco FC]] in October 2005, but after just one season in charge he departed the club after a campaign in which Monaco finished a disappointing 30 points behind [[Ligue 1]] champions [[Olympique Lyonnais]].

===Back to Palermo===
On May 30, 2006 Guidolin was re-hired by his former club [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] in a shock announcement found on the team's webpage, with a three-year deal and an undisclosed sum, replacing [[Giuseppe Papadopulo]].

After an impressive start which brought Palermo clearly to third place for the whole first part of the season, Palermo however was not able to win a single match in over two months, following a six-month injury for team's biggest star [[Amauri]] in December and the infamous [[Sicilian derby]] of February 2, 2007 and the [[2007 Catania football violence|successive riots]] during which a policeman was killed. Following a crushing 3–4 home defeat to [[Parma F.C.|Parma]], a team in trouble of relegation, and 7 points gained in the last 11 league matches, Guidolin was ultimately sacked by Palermo chairman [[Maurizio Zamparini]] on April 23; however his sacking was revoked on May 14, following two other consecutive defeats for Palermo.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.reuters.com/article/worldFootballNews/idUKL1464512920070514 | title=Soccer-Sacked Guidolin returns to coach Palermo | date=2007-05-14 | work=Reuters}}</ref> After two wins in the two final Serie A matches which brought Palermo back to fifth place (its best Serie A table placement as of 2009), Guidolin finally ended his second time in Palermo.

In October 2007, Guidolin was reportedly approached by the new owners of English Championship side [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|Queens Park Rangers]] to become the club's new manager, after the poor start to the new season bought about the sacking of [[John Gregory (footballer)|John Gregory]]. He later confirmed the rumours linking him to QPR, claiming he would be pleased with a professional move to England.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_2803429,00.html|publisher=SKY Sports|title=Guidolin confirms R's offer|date=2007-10-16|accessdate=2007-10-16}}</ref> A few days later he was however reported to have refused the QPR job due to personal issues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/oct25o.html|publisher=Football Italia|title=De Canio set for QPR|date=2007-10-25|accessdate=2007-10-25 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20071026154558/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/oct25o.html  |archivedate = 2007-10-26}}</ref>

On November 26, 2007 Guidolin was unexpectedly appointed back at the helm of the ''rosanero'', replacing [[Stefano Colantuono]] and joining the Sicilian club for a record fourth time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Palermo/Primo_Piano/2007/11_Novembre/26/colantuono.shtml|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|title=Palermo, via Colantuono. Guidolin pronto al ritorno|language=Italian|accessdate=2007-11-26|date=2007-11-26}}</ref> However, he was axed once again on March 24, 2008 as he only managed to achieve 18 points in 17 matches, after three consecutive defeats, the latter followed by controversial post-match comments in which he criticized the team fanbase.<ref name="guidolin_sacked">{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/mar24g.html|title=Guidolin axed, Colantuono back|publisher=Football Italia|date=2008-03-24|accessdate=2008-03-24 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080327123414/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/mar24g.html  |archivedate = 2008-03-27}}</ref> Despite such comments and poor team performances in his last stint as Palermo boss, Guidolin is still today hailed as one of the club legends and was warmly welcomed during his [[Stadio Renzo Barbera]] return, this time as Parma manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3232619,00.html|publisher=SKY Sport|title=Palermo grab late Parma win|accessdate=2010-02-07|date=2010-02-20}}</ref>

===Parma and Udinese===
On 30 September 2008 he signed a contract by [[Parma F.C.|Parma]], replacing [[Luigi Cagni]] and guiding the ''ducali'' to a runners-up place in the [[Serie B 2008–09|2008–09 Serie B]] and an immediate promotion back into the top flight. He was confirmed at the helm of Parma for the [[2009–10 Serie A]] season, where he enjoyed a good start with the team constantly in the top ten for the first half of the season.

At the end of the 2009–10 season, after guiding Parma to a mid-table finish, he resigned in order to become new head coach of [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.udinese.it/script/view.php?id=439 |publisher=Udinese Calcio |language=Italian |accessdate=2010-05-24 |date=2010-05-24 |title=Francesco Guidolin nuovo allenatore dell’Udinese}}</ref>

'''Massimo Ficcadenti''' (born November 6, 1967 in [[Fermo]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[Association football|football]] [[coach (sport)|manager]] and former [[midfielder]].

==Career==
===Playing===
Ficcadenti started his playing career with [[S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio|Sambenedettese]], where he played from 1985 to 1989. He then signed for [[F.C. Messina Peloro|Messina]], playing for the [[Sicily|Sicilian]] side for a total of three seasons before to join [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] in 1992. At Verona, he also had the opportunity to make his [[Serie A]] debut; he stayed with the ''gialloblu'' for a total of five seasons before moving at [[Torino F.C.|Torino]] in 1997. He left Torino for [[Ravenna Calcio|Ravenna]] in 2000, and retired from active football one year later to become a coach.

===Coaching===
Ficcadenti's first coaching experience came in 2001 as boss of [[Serie C2]] team [[U.S. Fiorenzuola 1922|Fiorenzuola]].<ref name="hellastory">{{cite web|url=http://www.hellastory.net/pages/scheda.cfm?id=D9077B29-9DB6-3159-CE81479C026BF572|title=La scheda di Massimo Ficcadenti|author=Hellastory.net|language=Italian|accessdate=2007-06-24}}</ref> Ficcadenti, at the helm of a club under serious financial struggles, ended the regular season in 17th place, but later lost the relegation playoffs to [[Trentino Calcio Trento|Trento]]. Despite the [[Serie D]] relegation, his work at Fiorenzuola was praised by a number of pundits, given the circumstances, and he was successively appointed by [[U.S. Avellino|Avellino]] of [[Serie C1]], being however fired before the beginning of the season due to poor performances in the [[Coppa Italia Serie C]] and a number of friendly matches.<ref name="hellastory"/> On June 2003, he was then appointed as head coach of [[A.C. Pistoiese|Pistoiese]], another Serie C1 team. As well as in Fiorenzuola, Ficcadenti found a club under financial troubles, and a squad mainly composed by young and loaned players, the one with the lowest age in all the professional leagues that year; despite that, Pistoiese narrowly missed a spot in the [[Serie B]] promotion playoffs, and ended in a good 11th place.<ref name="hellastory"/>

Pistoiese's performances convinced Serie B club [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] to offer him their head coaching position in 2004.<ref name="hellastory"/> In his first year with Verona, Ficcadenti ended in a mid-table place, after having been involved in the promotion fight for the first half of the season.<ref name="hellastory"/> The [[Serie B 2005-06|2005-06 season]], with a weaker team that lost some of their more notable players, saw Verona struggling in the relegation battle, but saving themselves from a Serie C1 fall in the end.<ref name="hellastory"/> The [[Serie B 2006-07|following season]] proved to be much harder for Ficcadenti, as the club lost several key players such as [[Mattia Cassani]] and striker [[Adaílton Martins Bolzan|Adaílton]]. Ficcadenti was then sacked on December 2006 because of poor results, being replaced by [[Giampiero Ventura]] who however did not manage to save the club from relegation.

On June 23, 2007 several news announced [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]]'s appointment of Ficcadenti as new head coach, despite the fact he was still contracted with his previous club Verona.<ref name="ficcadenti_reggina">{{cite web |url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun23n.html |publisher=Football Italia |title=Reggina appoint Ficcadenti |accessdate=2007-06-24 |date = 2007-06-23 |format= |work= |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070712131738/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun23n.html  |archivedate = 2007-07-12}}</ref> However Verona did not give Ficcadenti permission to make the move, and on June 27 the club announced on their website to have reappointed him as their head coach for the upcoming [[Serie C1 2007-08|2007-08 Serie C1 campaign]].<ref name="ficcadenti_verona">{{cite web |url=http://www.hellasverona.it/news.php?id=5422 |publisher=Hellas Verona FC |title=Hellas Verona Football Club smentisce di essere alla ricerca di un nuovo allenatore |accessdate=2007-06-27 |date = 2007-06-27 |language=Italian}}</ref> The issue finally came to an end on July 1, when Ficcadenti rescinded his contract with Verona and Reggina announced on their website to have appointed him as coach.<ref name="ficcadenti_reggina">{{cite web |url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jul1h.html |publisher=Football Italia |title=Ficcadenti free to lead Reggina |accessdate=2007-07-01 |date = 2007-07-01 |format= |work= |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20071015125242/http://channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jul1h.html  |archivedate = 2007-10-15}}</ref> He however made a very poor start with Reggina, failing to achieve a single win in the first ten matchdays; a shock 3–1 home loss to [[A.S.

'''Roberto Donadoni''' (born 9 September 1963) is a former [[Italy|Italian]] [[Italy national football team|international]] [[Association football|footballer]] and currently a manager, now in charge of [[Serie A]] club [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]].

An attacking midfielder or winger known for pace and technique, he was a pillar of the powerhouse [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]] teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s and one of the pioneers of [[Major League Soccer]], where he played two seasons for the [[Red Bull New York|NY/NJ MetroStars]].

This was followed by a spell as head coach of the [[Italy national football team|Italian national team]], succeeding [[Marcello Lippi]], who resigned after having won the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. At the [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]] campaign, with Donadoni as coach, Italy reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, losing against [[Spain national football team|Spain]]. On 26 June 2008, Donadoni was subsequently dismissed despite having signed a contract extension prior to the beginning of Euro 2008, using a clause in the contract which allowed termination if Italy does not reach the semi-final. He was replaced by [[Marcello Lippi]] who returned as national team manager.

==Career==
===Playing career===
Donadoni started his career with [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]] in 1982. He transferred to [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]] in 1986 and became a mainstay in the team. Usually playing a right midfield role, Donadoni was a vital cog in a team that won five [[Serie A]] titles, three [[UEFA Champions League|European Cups]], three [[European Super Cup]]s, and two [[European/South American Cup|Intercontinental Cups]].

He came close to being one of a handful of players to ever die on-field, during the 1989/90 European Cup campaign. Donadoni had his life saved only through the quick-thinking of the opposing team's ([[Red Star Belgrade]]) [[physiotherapist]], who broke his jaw to make a passage for oxygen to reach his lungs after he had suffered a bad foul and lay unconscious.

A member of the Italian national team, he played in the [[Football World Cup 1990|1990]] and [[1994 FIFA World Cup]]s, helping Italy to third and second place finishes respectively. Unfortunately, he missed one of the penalties in the shoot-out in 1990, in the fateful semi-final against [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]].

The MetroStars of [[Major League Soccer]] made him a centerpiece of their franchise when they signed him in 1996. While with the Metros, he was recalled to the Italian national team. He came back to the MLS, but in the league's first two formative years. He proved a solid performer, being named to the league [[MLS Best XI|Best XI]] in 1996. Unfortunately, Donadoni's play could not bring the MetroStars any success as a club.

He went back to Milan after the 1997 MLS season, and promptly helped them to another Serie A title, his sixth. He ended his career by playing for a short time with [[Al-Ittihad (Jeddah)|Al-Ittihad]] of [[Saudi Arabia]].

Donadoni scored 18 goals for Milan and six for the MetroStars. He scored five goals for Italy in 63 caps.

===Managing career===
After retiring as a player, Donadoni coached Italian clubs [[Calcio Lecco 1912|Lecco]] (2001–02), [[A.S. Livorno Calcio|Livorno]] (2002–03) and [[Genoa 1893|Genoa]] (2003–04). In 2005, he returned to head Livorno in mid-season. After leading them to a surprising ninth-place finish and having the club in sixth place midway through the 2005–06 season, Donadoni resigned over criticism from club chairman Aldo Spinelli.

On July 2006, following the resignation of [[Marcello Lippi]] immediately after the Italian national team won the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], Donadoni was named as new Italian head coach, his first task being to successfully lead the fresh World Champions through qualification for Euro 2008.

On 16 August, Donadoni made his debut as head coach for the Italian national team in a friendly match against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] played at [[Stadio Armando Picchi (Livorno)|Stadio Armando Picchi]], [[Livorno]] which did not feature any of the 23 World Champions, excepting third goalkeeper [[Marco Amelia]], and ended in a 2–0 defeat.

====Path to Euro 2008====
Donadoni's "real" debut came in the [[UEFA Euro 2008]] qualifiers; Donadoni took solace in the fact that Lippi's first match in charge of the ''Azzurri'' resulted in defeat to [[Iceland national football team|Iceland]] in a friendly match. Despite this, the Italian media did not express this comfort after the following two matches were deemed as negative results: a home 1–1 draw with [[Lithuania national football team|Lithuania]], followed by a 3–1 defeat against [[France national football team|France]].

Italian newspaper ''La Nazione'''s front page featured "How to reduce Lippi's masterwork to pieces in just three weeks,"<ref>[http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/07092006/2/photo/beleaguered-donadoni-turn-totti.html Beleaguered Donadoni to turn to Totti]</ref> requesting the return of former coach [[Marcello Lippi]]. However, despite all the critics, Donadoni led Italy to five wins in a row to [[Georgia national football team|Georgia]] (3–1), [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] (2–0) and [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] (2–0), the former being controversial for his omission of star [[Alessandro Del Piero]] from the squad.<ref>[http://goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=145867 {{it icon}}]</ref> One of the main criticisms addressed by the media towards Donadoni was his alleged lack of pressure in persuading [[Francesco Totti]] to play again for the ''Azzurri''. Following a question regarding a possible call-up for the [[A.S. Roma|AS Roma]] star, Donadoni jokingly claimed not to know him.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=298124 Goal.com – Italy – Totti Who? – Donadoni]</ref>

Italy qualified for Euro 2008 after a successful campaign, topping the group ahead of France, in spite of the shaky start. They defeated Scotland 2–1 in [[Glasgow]] to confirm their qualification.

====Euro 2008 campaign====
On 9 June 2008, Donadoni was handed the biggest defeat for Italy's national team in over 25 years by former Milan team-mate [[Marco van Basten]]: a 3–0 loss to the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]]. The Italian captain and winner of the [[Ballon d'Or]], [[Fabio Cannavaro]], was unable to play due to injury. Donadoni was widely criticised for his choice of players for that match. His team drew the subsequent match with Romania on 13 June, despite some controversial officiating which saw a goal called back in each of these games creating intense criticism of the officials. The team beat France 2–0 on 17 June to progress to the quarter-finals against a much-fancied Spanish team. The two teams played out a 0–0 draw, Italy being the only team to hold eventual Euro Cup winners Spain scoreless in regular time. However, the Spaniards won 4–2 on penalties. On June 26, 2008, he was sacked as the Italian coach after the [[Italian Football Federation]] terminated his contract because of the ''Azzuri'''s disappointing performance in the Euro 2008.<ref>{{cite news|date=2008-06-26|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3741690,00.html|title=Donadoni axed as Italy boss|publisher=Sky Sports|accessdate=2008-06-26}}</ref>

The [[Italian Football Federation]] later replaced Donadoni and re-appointed [[Marcello Lippi]] as coach.

===Napoli===
On 10 March 2009, [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] officially announced to have sacked veteran head coach [[Edoardo Reja]] after five years at the helm of the team, and also confirming to have appointed Donadoni as his replacement.<ref name="reja_sacked">{{cite news|publisher=SSC Napoli|url=http://www.sscnapoli.it/client/render.aspx?root=707&fwd=2367&content=0|title=Roberto Donadoni nuovo tecnico azzurro|date=10 March 2009|accessdate=10 March 2009}} {{it icon}}</ref> His first match in charge against [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]] ended in a 1–1 draw.

After a 2–1 loss to [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] on October 6, 2009 he was relieved of his duties as Napoli manager and replaced by former [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] coach, [[Walter Mazzarri]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sscnapoli.it/client/render.aspx?root=707&fwd=2800&content=0|title=È Walter Mazzarri il nuovo allenatore|publisher=SSC Napoli|language=Italian|date=2009-10-06|accessdate=2009-10-06}}</ref>

===Cagliari===
On 16 November 2010 it was revealed Donadoni would take over as head coach of [[Serie A]] relegation battlers [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]], replacing dismissed boss [[Pierpaolo Bisoli]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cagliaricalcio.net/news/notizia.asp?idNotizia=9566&type=0&id_menu=1 |publisher=Cagliari Calcio |language=Italian |accessdate=16 November 2010|date=15 November 2010|title=Comunicato Stampa}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Cagliari/15-11-2010/cagliari-esonerato-bisoli-711829153769.shtml |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |language=Italian |accessdate=16 November 2010|date=16 November 2010|title=Cagliari, esonerato Bisoli Cellino ingaggia Donadoni}}</ref> Reached the guide of the Cagliari, Donadoni immediately gets, with his new team, two victories: on November 21 to Brescia (1-2 final result) and on November 28 against the Lecce (3-2 at the end of the match).

'''Domenico "Mimmo" Di Carlo''' (born 23 March 1964 in [[Cassino]], [[Province of Frosinone|Frosinone]]) is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[association football]] coach, and former player, currently head coach of [[U.C. Sampdoria]].

==Career==
Di Carlo started his playing career in his native city, playing for the local [[Serie C2]] team Real Cassino.
After a number of seasons played for Treviso, Ternana, Como (where he never appeared in the first team lineup) and Palermo, where he helped the team to obtain a promotion to Serie C1, Di Carlo signed for Serie C1 team Vicenza in 1990. He quickly became one of the key players for the team, with whom he played 9 seasons, obtaining two promotions (from Serie C1 to [[Serie A]]), one [[Coppa Italia]] and reaching the [[Cup Winners' Cup]] semifinals the following year. He left Vicenza in 1999, when he joined Lecce, again in Serie A. His actual last playing season was in 2000/2001 for Livorno of Serie C1, even if on November he joined for a very short time Sudtirol-Alto Adige of Serie C2.

After a period back to Vicenza, where he coached the ''Primavera'' youth team, Di Carlo was signed as coach of Serie C2 team [[A.C. Mantova|Mantova]] on 2003. He was able to lead the team to back to back promotions leading Mantova to Serie B for the first since a number of decades. His first Serie B season as coach was even better, as his team obtained surprisingly a place in the promotion playoff finals, where was then defeated by giants [[Torino F.C.]] after extra time. He coached [[A.C. Mantova|Mantova]] also in their 2006–07 Serie B campaign, leading to eighth place but being the first side to defeat [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] in its first appearance in the division. In June 2007 he left Mantova.

On June 12, 2007 he was confirmed as the head coach of Serie A team [[Parma F.C.|Parma]]. In his time at Parma, he struggled to keep the ''crociati'' off the relegation zone, only to be ultimately sacked on March 10, 2008 following a 1–2 home loss to [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]].<ref name="dicarlo_sacked">{{cite news |url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Parma/Primo_Piano/2008/03_Marzo/10/dicarlo_1003.shtml |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |language=Italian |title=Parma: via Di Carlo.

==Career==
===Player===
Born at [[Aquileia]], [[province of Udine]], Delneri made his professional debut as player at the age of 16 for [[Spal 1907|Spal]], [[Ferrara]]'s football team, for which he had worked as storer. After playing for [[Foggia Calcio|Foggia]] and [[Novara]], he moved to [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]], with whom he gained promotion to [[Serie A]], [[Italy]]'s top division. He was later traded to [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]], and then to [[Vicenza Calcio|Lanerossi Vicenza]], [[A.C. Siena|Siena]], [[A.S.D. Pro Gorizia|Pro Gorizia]] and [[U.S.D. Opitergina|Opitergina]], an amateur team from [[Oderzo]], where he ended his playing career at 34.

===Coach===
After his retirement as a player, Delneri stayed at Oderzo, appointed by chairman [[Ettore Setten]] (now owner of [[Treviso F.B.C. 1993|Treviso]]) as head coach. In 1986 he signed for [[Serie D]] team [[A.S.D. Pro Gorizia|Pro Gorizia]]. He then coached [[Partinicaudace]], a minor Sicilian Serie D team, in 1989, [[Teramo Calcio|Teramo]], [[Ravenna Calcio|Ravenna]], [[Novara Calcio|Novara]] and [[A.G. Nocerina 1910|Nocerina]] of [[Serie C2]]; with this last team he won the league and promotion to [[Serie C1]]. He then moved to [[Ternana Calcio|Ternana]] of [[Serie C2]], guiding it to [[Serie B]] after two consecutive promotions.

In 1998, after his second consecutive promotion, he was signed by [[Empoli F.C.|Empoli]] of Serie A, but was fired before starting the championship, and was then recalled by his former team [[Ternana Calcio|Ternana]] at the [[Serie B]] level.

In 2000 he signed with [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo Verona]] of [[Serie B]], a team representing a small quarter of [[Verona]]. It was the beginning of the so-called "Chievo miracle", in which the team was promoted for the very first time to [[Serie A]] and then even qualified for the [[UEFA Cup]] in its first season at the highest level of Italian football, after leading Serie A at the end of the winter break.

In the summer of 2004, Delneri was signed by [[UEFA Champions League|Champions' League]] holders [[FC Porto]], but, as with Empoli, was fired before making his debut. He maintained that he wanted to return to Italy for personal reasons. Signed in October 2004 by [[AS Roma]], replacing [[Rudi Völler]], he in turn left this position in March 2005 after a dismaying series of defeats, which were regarded as only partially the fault of Delneri.

In mid-2005 he accepted the offer of [[U.S. Città di Palermo|US Palermo]] to coach the [[Sicily|Sicilian]] team, which had also qualified for the [[UEFA Cup]]. After a good beginning, including a surprising 3–2 win against [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Inter Milan]] and qualification to the [[UEFA Cup]] group stages, the team started producing poor results, slowly losing position in the Serie A table. After a 3–1 defeat at home against [[A.C. Siena|Siena]], Delneri was fired on January 28, 2006.

On October 16, 2006, Delneri returned to coach Chievo Verona, replacing [[Giuseppe Pillon]]. Despite a good start, he did not manage to save his side from relegation, losing a spot in the following season's Serie A with a 2–0 loss to [[Calcio Catania|Catania]] on the final match day. Following the relegation, Delneri announced he was going to leave Chievo. He was announced as new [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]] boss in June 2007. Delneri spent two successful seasons with Atalanta in which he led the team to 9th and 11th place, which can be seen as a great success since the team fell to 18th place and were demoted to [[Serie B]] after his departure. After two seasons in [[Bergamo]],he left to take over at [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] on June 1, 2009, a team that had a disappointing season in which they finihsed 13th. He guided Sampdoria to a surprising fourth place in which they beat Italian giants [[F.C. Internazionale Milano]], [[AC Milan]], [[Juventus F.C.]], and [[AS Roma]] ,and as a result of the fourth place finish, Sampdoria received a spot to the third qualifying round of the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League]]. Delneri left the ''blucerchiati'' the day after his team secured fourth place.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sampdoria.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6433&Itemid=73|publisher=UC Sampdoria |language=Italian |accessdate=2010-05-17 |date=2010-05-17 |title=COMUNICATO U.C. SAMPDORIA: MISTER DELNERI LASCIA}}</ref>

On 19 May 2010 Delneri was appointed as coach of [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] after he quit as coach of Sampdoria on 17 May 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=788864&cc=5739|title=Juventus confirm Delneri appointment|date=2010-05-19|work=[[ESPNsoccernet]]|publisher=[[ESPN]]|accessdate=2010-06-25}}</ref> On the day of his appointment, Delneri stated,“I want to build a team with a definite identity, that doesn’t change depending on which team it is playing,” Delneri said. “We want to return to the level that Juventus has always played throughout its century and recreate a winning mentality. I’ve won some hard challenges and it isn’t easy, but it has allowed me to be considered by a big club,” Delneri said. “I know full well that we need a lot of quality to achieve our aims. But we need continuity and if we achieve that we might be able to reach our goals earlier.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=ap-juventus-delneri}}</ref> After a slow start to the new season, the Turin side kept their first clean sheet since October in a 4–0 over [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].<ref>{{citenews|title=Tutta un'altra Juventus, Gioco e 4 gol all'Udinese|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Udinese/19-09-2010/tutta-altra-juve-711184572187.shtml|publisher=[[Gazzetta dello Sport]]|date=2010-09-19|language=Italian|first=Riccardo|last=Pratesi}}</ref>
