About this person
Born 17 March 1939, Trapattoni spent nearly his entire playing career as a defensive midfielder at AC Milan, winning two Serie A titles and two European Cups between 1962 and 1969, and earning 17 caps for Italy at the 1962 World Cup. He became the most successful club coach in Italian football, winning ten league titles across Italy, Germany, Portugal and Austria - a feat matched by only four others. At Juventus he completed a clean sweep: European Cup, UEFA Cup, Cup Winners' Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup, the only manager to win all official continental club competitions and the world title. His national-team tenures proved less kind: Italy exited early at the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004, and Ireland fell short of the 2010 World Cup after a controversial loss to France, though he did lead them to Euro 2012. He finished with more than 1,000 club games and over 100 international matches on the bench.
