Antonio Valentín Angelillo (born September 5, 1937 in Buenos Aires , Argentina , † January 5, 2018 in Siena , Italy ) was an Argentine- Italian football player and coach .

Angelillo played for a long time in Serie A and for the Argentine as well as for the Italian national team . He was considered one of the upcoming stars of football, but failed to meet hopes.

He later worked as a coach for various clubs.

Career in the club

The young Angelillo was in Buenos Aires as the son of Italian immigrants born. The street footballers joined with 14 years of youth department of Arsenal de Lavallol to where the footballing talent of striker was promoted.

In 1955 he made his debut for the Racing Club Avellaneda in Argentina's first division and moved to the top club Boca Juniors the following season . With 16 goals, he was the top scorer in his league team and received a squad nomination for the Copa América 1957 .

Argentina was the outstanding team: with the storm trio Omar Sívori , Humberto Maschio and Angelillo (" three angels with dirty faces ") all opponents were defeated. Angelillo scored eight goals in six games, Maschio even scored nine times. Argentina was the sovereign winner and the three were the stars of the " Albicelestes " and were signed by Italian clubs after the tournament: Sivori from Juventus Turin , Maschio from FC Bologna and Angelillo from Internazionale from Milan , who transferred nine million lire .

At Inter, Angelillo played as a free player behind the tips, as a kind of hanging tip or playmaker . In the first year (1957/58) he played a good season and scored 16 times in the league. But in the next season a performance explosion followed when he scored 33 goals - to date, no Serie A player has been able to crack this mark (highest goal rate since Gunnar Nordahl in 1950/51 with 34 goals). His total of 38 competitive goals this season are a club record at Inter to this day.

Angelillo was the new superstar in San Siro and an absolute favorite of the Interisiti . But he was denied titles with the Nerazzurri ; In 1960 the championship was narrowly missed and with Helenio Herrera a new head coach was signed. Herrera initially relied on Angelillo as a fixed point on the offensive and even appointed him captain. But he could not withstand the pressure and his dissolute lifestyle attracted the displeasure of discipline fanatic Herrera (relationship with singer Ilya Lopez ). The coach took his star out of the team and removed him from his position as captain; he rebuilt his team and introduced the catenaccio - in this system there was no more room for Angelillo, who was sold with a heavy heart by President Angelo Moratti to AS Roma .

Angelillo wanted to build on his grandiose 1958/59 season with Roma , but he was never able to retrieve that performance. During this time he was naturalized in Italy in order to play for their national team. But after only two games (one goal) his international career was over.

Later Angelillo even had two short guest appearances at Inter's local rivals AC Milan , with whom he won the Scudetto in 1968 .

He then ended his career in Serie B at CFC Genoa and ended his career in 1969 at the age of 31.

Career as a trainer and talent scout

After his professional career, Angelillo stayed in Italy, where he coached several clubs. He had his greatest success with AC Arezzo , with which he almost rose to Serie A.

He later also worked as a talent scout for Inter in South America , where he discovered players like Javier Zanetti and Iván Córdoba .

Angelillo last lived near Arezzo .
