Farewell to Alfredo Magni, his name forever linked to Monza

The world of soccer says goodbye to Alfredo Magni. Born in 1940, he was a good defender and, after hanging up his boots, an excellent coach.

His career, both as a footballer and as a coach, was linked above all to Monza. With the biancorossi’s jersey he played from 1960 to 1967, before moving to Como, a team in which he played until 1973, the year he officially retired.

He then began his coaching career. He sat, in two different periods (from 1975 to 1980 and from 1983 to 1986) on the bench of Monza, coming close to promotion to Serie A several times. He also coached many other clubs, including Brescia, Arezzo, Varese, Genoa, Venice and, as his last stop, Lecco. Among his successes as a coach was winning the C1 championship in the 1975/76 season with Monza.
