Carlo Ceresoli (born June 14, 1910 in Bergamo , † April 22, 1995 ibid) was an Italian football goalkeeper and coach .

Ceresoli was, along with his compatriot Giampiero Combi , the Spaniard Zamora and the Czechoslovak Plánička , one of the best goalkeepers in the world in the 1930s. The greatest success of his career was winning the World Cup in 1938 .

Career

Carlo Ceresoli began his professional career in his hometown at Atalanta Bergamo , where he gained experience in Serie B for four years . At the age of 22, he moved to Ambrosiana-Inter in Milan in 1932 , where he became a regular goalkeeper in the top Italian division. With his club, however, he failed to prevail in Serie A against the dominance of Juventus Turin , who won five championships in a row in the first half of the 1930s .

After less than two years in Italy's top division, Ceresoli was appointed to the national team by national coach Vittorio Pozzo . On March 25, 1934 he made his debut in the World Cup qualifying game against Greece in the Squadra Azzurra . For the world championship in his own country in the same year, Carlo Ceresoli was considered the safer number 1 . In the run-up to the tournament, however, he suffered a serious arm injury and could not be used. Pozzo then reactivated Giampiero Combi , who had actually already ended his career. This led the team to the World Cup title in 1934 with outstanding performance.

After the World Cup, Ceresoli returned to the Azzurri goal and played, among other things, the legendary game against England on November 14, 1934, which went down in history as the Battle of Highbury . Although he conceded three goals in the first twelve minutes of this game, he was one of the best players on his team.

For the 1936/37 season Carlo Ceresoli moved from Inter to AGC Bologna , with whom he was able to win the Italian championship straight away under the Hungarian coach Árpád Weisz . The second Scudetto followed in 1938/39, this time under the Austrian Hermann Felsner .

Also for the 1938 World Cup in France , Ceresoli was intended as a goalkeeper. Again due to an injury in the run-up, he ultimately only acted as a substitute for Aldo Olivieri . Ceresoli was not on the field for a single minute at the tournament, but this time was at least able to celebrate the world title.

In 1939 Carlo Ceresoli moved to CFC Genoa , but there he was used less and less. He then ended his career after the 1941/42 season, which he played at Juventus Turin .
