Growing up in Milan, despite living with a rival like Cudicini, he became the starting goalkeeper, contributing to the conquest of the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1973 against Leeds, in Thessaloniki, precisely. Then the career as a footballer unfolded in the province between Cagliari, Como and Spal. As a coach he joined Carletto and together they took off starting from Reggiana. Parma, Juve, Milan and Real Madrid are the next stages of a wonderful adventure between cups to be raised on the pitch and hams to be tasted at the table.
