Career

Armando Castellazzi spent his entire active career at Inter Milan , for which he ran for the first time in the senior team on February 24, 1924, in the 2-1 away win at Calcio Padova . For more than ten years he was one of the main pillars in the defensive midfield of the Nerazzurri . In the first Serie A season in history, 1929/30 , Castellazzi was able to celebrate his only Italian championship as a player. In 1933 he stood with Inter in the final of the Mitropa Cup, the predecessor of today's European Cup, which was lost to FK Austria Wien .

Armando Castellazzi played a total of three games in the Italian national team . He made his debut on December 1, 1929 in his hometown of Milan in a 6-1 win against Portugal . In 1934 he was part of the Italian squad who secured the title under coach Vittorio Pozzo at the World Cup in their own country. Castellazzi played his only game in a 1-1 draw in the first quarter-final against Spain .

After 13 years, a total of 261 games and 16 goals in inter-dress, Armando Castellazzi ended his playing career in the summer of 1936 and moved to the Nerazzurri coaching bench . The 1936/37 season was completed under his leadership on a disappointing seventh place in the table. In 1937/38 the team won the fourth championship title in the club's history , mainly thanks to an outstanding Giuseppe Meazza . Castellazzi became the first ever to win the Scudetto both as a player and as a coach.
