A piece of history (not only of football) that is unmissable and unobtainable!

Dino Zoff (Mariano del Friuli, February 28, 1942) is a former Italian footballer, football coach and sports manager, who played as a goalkeeper. He was European champion in 1968 and world champion in 1982 with the Italian national team, which he also coached from 1998 to 2000.

Considered one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of football, he tied his footballing activity mainly to Juventus, playing there for eleven years between the 1970s and 1980s, without ever missing a league match; with the Bianconeri he collected 479 appearances (330 in Serie A), winning six Italian championships, two Italian Cups and a UEFA Cup, and played in two Champions Cup finals and one Intercontinental Cup final.

Together with libero Gaetano Scirea and full-backs Claudio Gentile and Antonio Cabrini, his teammates at Juventus and in the national team, Zoff formed one of the best defensive departments in the history of the discipline. After retiring from competitive activity, he began a career as a coach, becoming in 1990, at the helm of Juventus, the first coach capable of winning the UEFA Cup after having won it as a player.

With the Italian national team he took part in two European Championships (Italy 1968 and Italy 1980) and four World Championships (Mexico 1970, West Germany 1974, Argentina 1978 and Spain 1982), also obtaining, as coach of the Azzurri, the second place in the European Championship 2000. The success in the 1982 World Championship, achieved at the age of forty - moreover as captain of Italy - made him the oldest winner in the history of the competition[8] as well as the only Italian player to have obtained, at national level, both the title of European champion and world champion. Always with the Azzurri, he holds the world record for unbeaten runs for national teams, having not conceded goals for 1142 consecutive minutes. He was for a long time the player with the most appearances in Serie A and for the Italian national team – having made 570 and 112 appearances respectively – before being surpassed in both statistical categories by Paolo Maldini (in 2000 for appearances in the Azzurri shirt, in 2005 for appearances in the top Italian championship).

In 2004 he was included in the FIFA 100 and listed among the Golden Foot Football Legends; in the same year, on the occasion of the UEFA Jubilee Awards, he was indicated by the FIGC as the best Italian player of the previous fifty years, also coming in 5th - first among the Italians - in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. He entered the Hall of Fame of Italian football among the Veterans and the Walk of Fame of Italian sport among the Legends, respectively in 2012 and 2015.
