Rino Marchesi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈriːno marˈkeːzi, -eːsi]; born 11 June 1937) is a former Italian football midfielder and manager from San Giuliano Milanese.
After beginning his career with Fanfulla for a season in 1955, over the course of his playing career, Marchesi played for five Italian club sides, spending the most of his time with Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio, winning several titles. He ended his career after two seasons with Prato, in 1973.[2]
While with Fiorentina, Marchesi appeared for the Italy twice, making his international debut in a 4–1 victory over Argentina on 15 June 1961.[3]
Following his retirement, Marchesi pursued a career as a manager, coaching several clubs, including Mantova and Ternana, then he guided Avellino to maintain its rank in Serie A in the 1978–79 season, and the following season. He most notably coached Napoli (1980–82; 1983–85), Internazionale (1982–83), Como (1985–86; 1988–89) Juventus (1986–88), and Udinese (1989–91). During his managerial career, he had the opportunity to coach both Diego Maradona while with Napoli, and Michel Platini with Juventus, two of the greatest attacking midfielders of all time; however he also had the misfortune of replacing legendary Juventus coach Giovanni Trapattoni at the conclusion of one of the most successful periods in the club's history, failing to replicate similar success during his two seasons with the club.[2][4]
As 2022, his last managerial job was at Lecce, but his team was relegated from Serie A in 1994.
