Player career

Giulio Corsini was born on September 28, 1933 in the Lombard city of Bergamo in northern Italy . From a young age he put on the jersey of the local football club Atalanta , where he was accepted into the first team in 1953. This played an attractive role in the first Italian football league, Serie A , in the 1950s . And Giulio Corsini was able to establish himself very quickly in the professional team of Atalanta. Between 1953 and 1957 he made a total of 130 appearances in the league, with the young defender achieving two goals.

In the summer of 1957 Giulio Corsini left Atalanta Bergamo and moved to the Italian capital for AS Roma . For the Roma he went on for seven seasons in Serie A and made 145 league games with one goal during that time. Corsini celebrated his greatest success with AS Roma in 1961 when the Messestädte Cup was won in the final against English representatives Birmingham City . The team of the Argentine coach Luis Carniglia was able to prevail with 2: 2 and 2: 0 against the English and win the first and so far only international title for the club. Three years later, the Italian cup competition, the Coppa Italia , was also victorious. In the final against AC Turin , Roma won the playoff 1-0 after the actual final went goalless. Giulio Corsini was no longer in these two finals, however, he had lost his regular place at AS Roma for a long time and was mostly just sitting on the bench.

In the same year, Corsini changed employers a second time and joined the AC Mantova within the league . With Mantua , however, the defender was relegated from Serie A in his first year at Stadio Danilo Martelli , after finishing last with just 21 points. In Serie B , third behind AC Venice and AC Lecco, they made a direct return to the Italian football club. Back in Serie A, Mantova was very convincing and at the end of Serie A 1966/67 ranked in a respectable ninth place in the table. A year later, however, followed another descent. In the summer of 1968, Giulio Corsini ended his footballing career at the age of 35 wearing AC Mantova.

Coaching career

From 1968 Giulio Corsini was assistant coach under Gustavo Giagnoni at his old employer AC Mantova and spent two seasons there in Serie B. In the summer of 1970 he succeeded Battista Rota as coach of his home club Atalanta Bergamo, which is now also in the second division had slipped. With Atalanta, Giulio Corsini was second in Serie B 1970/71, only behind Mantova, and managed the return of the club to Serie A. In the same year he was named the best coach of the current Serie B season. However, Corsini was only able to keep his club in Serie A for one year, with relegation as early as 1972/73 as third from bottom. When the first game days of the coming second division season went miserably, Giulio Corsini was sacked after a little more than three years in Bergamo and replaced by Heriberto Herrera .

For the 1974/75 season Corsini was the new coach of Sampdoria Genoa , but he avoided relegation to Serie B with the club only very narrowly, three points separated the team at the end of the first relegated Lanerossi Vicenza . A little later, Corsini took over from the master coach Tommaso Maestrelli, who resigned due to his cancer, at Lazio Rome, but led the club straight into the relegation battle. After only seven match days, Corsini was dismissed and the temporarily recovered Maestrelli returned to the coaching bench in Lazios, at the end of the season just succeeded in relegation due to the better goal difference.

At AC Cesena , Corsini was the first three game days of the 1976/77 season coach, at the end of which the team was relegated from Serie A. In general, the coaching career of Giulio Corsini was now doomed to the end, only two short interludes followed, one in 1979 at AS Bari and the second in 1981 again at Atalanta Bergamo. After that, Corsini did not work as a team coach again.
