He would have been 85 on March 20.
Romagnolo, from Cesena, he played for Vicenza, Sampdoria and Brescia. He retired and started as a coach at Brescia before entering the FIGC. Coach of the under 23 NT, then the under 21 NT (a final in the European tournament in 1986) and finally the first team with which he obtained a brilliant semifinal in the Euro 1988 and the third position in the world cup which was held in Italy in 1990, after a semifinal vs Argentina which gave us the feeling Vicini could have made better choices. Anyway, we should give credit to him for giving a chance to Schillaci, the unpredictable one-hit wonder of that world cup. Vicini was replaced by Sacchi after 6 games in the following European qualifiers.
