Career

As a player

Maldini began his career in 1952 with US Triestina and moved to AC Milan in 1954 . There he achieved his greatest successes until 1966. In addition to national championships, he won the European Champions Cup in 1963 . The defender was then in a team with Gianni Rivera , José Altafini and Giovanni Trapattoni . For the Italian national soccer team , he played at the 1962 World Cup in Chile , but was eliminated there against Germany and Chile in the preliminary round. Like his teammate Giovanni Trapattoni, he went into the coaching business after his active career, which he ended in 1967 at AC Turin .

As a trainer

Maldini's first position as head coach was US Foggia in 1974 , after he had previously been assistant coach at AC Milan. As a club coach, however, the success failed, and so he decided to work for the Italian association from 1980 . At the 1982 World Cup in Spain , he was assistant to national coach Enzo Bearzot and worked on Italy's first world title since 1938 . From 1986 to 1996 Maldini coached the Italian U-21 national team and took over the national coaching position in 1996 from Arrigo Sacchi . He led the team to the 1998 World Cup in France . There he was unlucky enough to be eliminated in the quarter-finals against hosts France on penalties .

After the tournament, Maldini was dismissed as national coach and replaced by Dino Zoff . In 2001 he returned to the international football stage as the Paraguayan national coach and qualified for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea . Here he was eliminated in the round of 16 against the eventual runner-up world champion Germany with 0: 1 through a goal by Oliver Neuville .

After that, Cesare Maldini no longer worked as a football coach. He died in Milan on April 3, 2016 at the age of 84 .
