Italian clubs

In 1972 Giovanni Trapattoni started as a youth coach at AC Milan. In 1974 he became the head coach. He lost his first European Cup final against the German team 1. FC Magdeburg with 0-2. In 1976 he moved to Juventus Turin . With Juventus he won the European Champion Clubs 'Cup and the European Supercup in 1985 , the UEFA Cup in 1977 and the European Cup Winners ' Cup in 1984, as well as the Italian championship six times.

In 1986 Trapattoni went to Inter Milan . In 1989 he was with the team in which u. a. the two German players Lothar Matthäus and Andreas Brehme were under contract, Italian champion and Italian Supercup winner, in 1991 he won the UEFA Cup with the now third German player and world champion Jürgen Klinsmann .

In 1991 Trapattoni moved again to Juventus, where he was the only coach to date to win the UEFA Cup for the third time in 1993.

Twice FC Bayern Munich and once Cagliari Calcio

In 1994 Giovanni Trapattoni went abroad for the first time and became coach of FC Bayern Munich . After a year he moved to Cagliari Calcio , where he was released for the first time in his career that same season.

For the 1996/97 season he returned to Bayern Munich. There he won the German championship , the 1998 DFB Cup and the DFB League Cup .

Fiorentina and the Italian national team

In 1998 Trapattoni took over the coaching position at Fiorentina . After Dino Zoff's resignation , he succeeded him as Italian national coach in 2000.

Trapattoni had no luck with the national team: he was eliminated from the 2002 World Cup in the round of 16 against South Korea . Referee Byron Moreno made blatant mistakes for the removal of the Italians. Immediately after the game, he was banned by FIFA. At the EM 2004 you were eliminated in the preliminary round. Italy could only reach the next round if, on the one hand, they won their last game themselves, which they did, and on the other hand, Denmark and Sweden did not tie in the last game with at least two goals each, i.e. a 2-2. In the 90th minute, the Danish goalkeeper made a blatant goalkeeping mistake and the game ended 2-2. The statement by Danish coach Morten Olsen ("Of course we will make a deal.") Caused a stir in Italy. As a result, Trapattoni's contract was not extended.

Benfica Lisbon, VfB Stuttgart and RB Salzburg

In 2004 Trapattoni moved to Benfica Lisbon in Portugal , where he succeeded José Antonio Camacho . In the 2004/05 season he won the Portuguese championship with Benfica . In order to be closer to his family in Italy in the future, Trapattoni left the Portuguese champions after a year.

On June 17, 2005 he signed a two-year contract with VfB Stuttgart . There he succeeded Matthias Sammer on July 1, 2005 . He was released on February 9, 2006.

In May 2006 Trapattoni signed a contract as head coach with the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg . At his side worked Lothar Matthäus , who was dismissed from the board on June 12, 2007 because of "different opinions". At the end of the season, Trapattoni won the championship title here too, the first since Red Bull joined the club previously designated Austria Salzburg in 2006. This made him one of four coaches worldwide who became champions in four different countries.

Irish national team

From 2008 Trapattoni coached the Irish national team . The team unfortunately failed in the 2010 World Cup qualification in the playoffs with an irregular goal to France - Thierry Henry had played the ball several times by hand. In the playoffs for the Euro 2012, however, the Irish team was successful and qualified for the Euro finals for the first time since 1988. Trapattoni then extended his expired contract until the 2014 World Cup . With the first game of the Irish at the Euro 2012 against Croatia, which was lost 1: 3, Trapattoni replaced Otto Barić as the oldest coach at a European Championship finals. After three defeats in the preliminary round, Ireland was eliminated. On September 11, 2013, the Irish federation and Trapattoni agreed to terminate their contract after qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was only theoretically possible.

Quotes

In Germany , Giovanni Trapattoni is primarily associated with a press conference held on March 10, 1998, two days after a 1-0 defeat by FC Schalke 04 . As coach of FC Bayern Munich, he criticized - grammatically incorrect, but extremely emotional - the performance of some players, in particular the Mehmet Scholls and Mario Baslers as well as Thomas Strunz's frequent absence due to injury . The sentence constructs that emerged in the heated, three-and-a-half-minute speech ( “Was allow Strunz” , “… would be as weak as a bottle empty ” and “I have finished.” ) Found their way into German usage ; in particular the final sentence "I have done" became a household word .

For example, the SPD quoted Trapattonis “I've finished” on a poster on the occasion of Helmut Kohl's voting out . Also in Matze Knop's song Supa Richie there is an allusion to the outburst of anger ("... and you feel like the bottle is empty, here is a full one, please."). The outburst of anger brought Trapattoni so much sympathy that he was able to earn money with it - for example as an advertising star for a sparkling wine system ("not empty the bottle ...").

During Trapattoni's time in Salzburg there was another outbreak of emotion. After his training methods were described by journalists as old-fashioned and his game system as too defensive, he vented his displeasure and criticized the journalists for not being competent enough to judge this: “Words are very simple. Who can do, do. Who can not do, speak. Who can't speak can write ”.
