Anton Cargnelli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton "Toni" Cargnelli (born February 1, 1889 in Vienna , † June 27, 1974 in Albenga ) was an Austrian football player and football coach who won the Scudetto , the Italian championship, twice during his coaching career .

Club career

The son of an Italian father grew up in Vienna, where he began playing football in 1901 with the Rennweger SV . He came to SC Germania Schwechat via AC Viktoria Wien , where he was one of the pillars of the team as an inside striker in the years before the championship was introduced. In 1910 he joined the newly founded Vienna AF , where he now played in defense. In the 1913/14 season, the Hütteldorfer fought with the district rivals SK Rapid Vienna for the championship title, which was decided on the last day of the direct duel with a 1: 1 in favor of Cargnelli's team. In the following season, the WAF reached second place in the championship, which was interrupted by the war events.

At the beginning of 1920 he returned to the Schwechatern, where he ran up again as a striker and at the same time took over the training of all teams. At that time, Germania played in the second division, where they fought for promotion with SC Hakoah Vienna and finally took second place.

National team

In May 1909 Cargnelli played his only game in the Austrian national team in a 1-1 draw against Hungary in Budapest, where he stood with Karl Beck in the storm row.

Coaching career

After he had already worked as a player-coach at the end of his playing career, he subsequently took up the coaching career. First he took sports science courses in Germany and then took on coaching positions in Cologne, Idar and Dortmund, before taking care of FC Mühlburg from Karlsruhe in 1924/25 . It followed a year in Romania, where he coached the two clubs TAC and Politehnica Timișoara in Timișoara . He then moved to Italy, where he would spend his entire subsequent career.

His first stop was FC Torino , with which he won the championship title straight away in 1928 with a series of strikes that included Adolfo Baloncieri , Julio Libonatti and Gino Rossetti . In 1929 the Turinese were subject to the AGC Bologna in the final .

After the introduction of Serie A, Cargnelli moved to the second division US Palermo , where he worked for three seasons. Stations at US Foggia and AS Bari followed before the Austrian returned to Torino in 1934. There the team initially only finished in a disappointing 14th place, but the third place was already achieved in the following season. Two more years in Bari followed before Cargnelli accepted an offer from Milan and switched to Ambrosiana . There he won the Italian Cup with his team in 1939 and was Italian champions the following year with players like Pietro Ferraris and Attilio Demaría .

During the war years he was in charge of Torino again, where he was once runner-up and was involved in building the team that would later become famous as Grande Torino .

After the end of the war, there were two more seasons each at Lazio Rome and Bologna before Cargnelli ended his career with third division club US Alessandria Calcio .
