Gaetano Salvemini (born January 15, 1942 in Molfetta ) is a former Italian football player and later coach . As an active player under contract with AC Venice and Ozo Mantova , among others , he led FC Empoli into Serie A for the first time in the club's history as a coach . He also coached AS Bari and US Palermo, for example .

Player career

Gaetano Salvemini, born on January 15, 1942 in Molfetta , southern Italy , spent the youth of his football career at AC Milan , where he was unable to work his way up to adulthood. The midfielder was given his first professional contract in 1962 with the US Alessandria , where he in a year by 1963 to eight league appearances with two Torerfolgen in the Serie B came. After that he was signed by AC Venice . In Venice , Salvemini played for three years until 1966 in the second Italian football league. In his last season he helped the club to reach number one in Serie B with a one-point lead before the AC Lecco what promotion to the Serie A meant. After the rise, Gaetano Salvemini left AC Venice and joined the first division club Ozo Mantova . Salvemini ran for Mantua for two years and finished his first first division season, the 1966/67 season, on a respectable ninth place. The following year, however, the performance of coach Giancarlo Cadè's players deteriorated considerably and they finished last in Serie A in 1967/68 with just seventeen points . A total of eight points were missing here for the first non-relegation place, occupied by Atalanta Bergamo .

Despite relegation with Ozo Mantova, Gaetano Salvemini received an offer from what was probably the best Italian club at the time, from Inter Milan in the summer of 1968 . In the team of Alfredo Foni , who had replaced the successful Argentine coach Helenio Herrera that year , Salvemini did not come to a single use in the league and changed the club immediately after the end of Serie A in 1968/69 . New employer was Como Calcio in Serie B, where he came to 21 league games with five goals in one year. In 1970, Gaetano Salvemini turned his back on Como and went to FC Empoli , which at that time was still considered a real nobody in Italian football. Empoli was at that time in the width of Serie C and played during the entire eight-year commitment of Salvemini at the club in this league. Only in Salvemini's last season in Empoli was there a promotion, if not a real one. With tenth place in Girone B of Serie C, they qualified for the newly created Serie C1 and thus laid the foundation for the positive development of the club, which then led them to Serie A in the 1980s. The coach of FC Empoli's first ascent to the series was to be Gaetano Salvemini in 1986, eight years after retiring at the age of 36.

Coaching career

Immediately after the end of his active career, Gaetano Salvemini took over from Giampiero Vitali as coach of his old club, FC Empoli. Already in his first term of office with the club from Tuscany , the newcomer to the coach was extremely successful. He managed to establish what was then a relatively small club in the C1 series and even achieved an excellent fifth place in the C1 series in 1980/81. Then Salvemini resigned in Empoli and coached the teams of AS Reggina , SPAL Ferrara , US Casertana and Ternana Calcio for one season each over the next four years . During this time, FC Empoli also made its first jump into the second highest Italian football league, Serie B. There, he took over the club again from Vincenzo Guerini in the summer of 1985 and managed to lead this development to its peak. As third in Serie B in 1985/86 behind Ascoli Calcio and Brescia Calcio , FC Empoli managed to climb up to Serie A for the first time in the club's history. There, Salvemini's team around Johnny Ekström , Walter Mazzarri or Eusebio Di Francesco even succeeded to create relegation. As an absolute first division debut, Empoli was thirteenth in Serie A 1986/87 after the end of all matchdays and had a lead of one point over the first relegated Brescia Calcio. The following year, however, the same feat did not succeed again, this time they were clearly last in the Italian premier league with only twenty own points.

After relegation, Gaetano Salvemini resigned at FC Empoli and became the new coach at second division AS Bari . Here the promotion to Serie A succeeded again, the Serie B in 1988/89 ended in second place, only behind the CFC Genoa . And when he arrived in the first division, Salvemini was able to position his club straight away with a tenth place in the safe midfield. In the same summer, Salvemini won the Mitropapokal with AS Bari, the first international title in the club's history, albeit a rather insignificant one. Gaetano Salvemini remained AS Bari coach until the summer of 1992, but had to return to Serie B in his senior year. Salvemini was dismissed in the course of Serie A in 1991/92 in Bari and replaced by the former Polish world-class player Zbigniew Boniek , who, however, could no longer prevent relegation.

After his departure from AS Bari, a period of diminishing success began for Gaetano Salvemini. Until 2001 he coached six other clubs, including CFC Genoa and AC Cesena and US Palermo in two terms . The only success in these years was winning the English-Italian Cup with the CFC Genoa. In the final, the English club Port Vale was defeated 5-2. In the long term, however, Salvemini's engagement in Genoa was not crowned with success. His last position at all was from 2000 to 2001 at AC Monza Brianza .
