Player career

Club career

Giuseppe Chiappella was born on September 28, 1924 in San Donato Milanese , a northern Italian city in Lombardy near Milan . As a result of the Second World War , he later moved with his parents to Pisa , where he also began playing football. In the first post-war year, 1946, he signed a contract with the local SC Pisa . Chiappella played for the club until 1949 and made 97 games and four goals for SC Pisa during this time.

In 1949 he joined Fiorentina , which was one of the top teams in Italian football at the time. Giuseppe Chiappella was very successful with the Fiorentina in the following eleven years and won the Italian championship in the 1955/56 season when they came first in Serie A with a twelve point lead over AC Milan . The 1956 championship allowed AC Florence to participate in the 1956/57 European Cup , where after victories over IFK Norrköping from Sweden , Grasshopper Club Zurich from Switzerland and Red Star Belgrade from Yugoslavia, they reached the final and met Real Madrid . Against the White Ballet , as the Real Madrid team was called in those days around players like Raymond Kopa , Alfredo Di Stéfano or Francisco Gento , the Viola team proved to be not strong enough and lost in the final at Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabéu with 0 : 2. In the league, the 1956/57 season was just as successful as the previous one. This time, after all match days, it was only enough for the runner-up, six points behind AC Milan, who were relegated to second place last year. In the following three years up to 1960, AC Florence, where at that time players such as defender Sergio Cervato , goalkeeper Enrico Albertosi and Sweden striker Kurt Hamrin were under contract, was runner-up three more times, twice behind Juventus Turin and once behind AC Milan . Furthermore, they reached the final of the Coppa Italia twice , but lost each time. On September 24, 1958, they lost 1-0 to Lazio Rome , two years later Juventus Turin was too big a hurdle. The final defeat against Juventus Turin in Rome represented the career completion of Giuseppe Chiappella at Fiorentina, at the age of The pre-stopper's active career ended in the summer of 1960 for 36 years. He played in 329 Serie A games for Fiorentina and hit the opposing goal five times.

National team

Between 1953 and 1957, Giuseppe Chiappella made seventeen international matches in the Italian national football team . A goal he did not succeed. He made his international debut under national coach Carlino Beretta on November 13, 1953 in the 2-1 success of the Italians in a friendly against Egypt in Cairo . Exactly a month later he saw his second international match, in the 3-0 win against Czechoslovakia on December 13, 1953 in Genoa , he was part of the Italian team. As a result, he made only one international match in 1954 (3-0 against Egypt) and was not nominated for the soccer World Cup in Switzerland . It wasn't until the beginning of 1955 that the new coach Lajos Czeizler put him back in, in Stuttgart Italy won 2-1 against Germany .

Coaching career

Success with AC Florence

In the summer of 1960, Giuseppe Chiappella succeeded Argentine Luis Carniglia as coach of Fiorentina. At the beginning of 1961, however, he was fired due to lack of success. Before that, it was noted that the performances of the Fiorentina in home and away games were very different. In the Stadio Artemio Franchi at home, there were usually clear wins (including 3: 0 against Juventus Turin, 4: 0 against Lazio Rome or 3: 0 against Udinese Calcio ), while away from home you often played draws or even lost against worse teams (at Example 1: 1 at Catania Calcio , 0: 1 at relegated AC Napoli or 0: 2 at SPAL Ferrara ). Chiappella's successor was the Hungarian and former world-class player Nándor Hidegkuti . Under Hidegkuti, Fiorentina won the Coppa Italia in the final against Lazio Rome and the European Cup Winners' Cup against Glasgow Rangers in the 1960/61 season . Although he was no longer a Florence coach at the time of winning the title, Giuseppe Chiappella still deserves a certain share of the two title wins, as he had looked after the team in the first part of the season.

Hidegkuti was the viola trainer until 1962 . He was then replaced by the future Italian national coach Ferruccio Valcareggi , who in turn coached in Florence until 1964 before he went to Atalanta Bergamo . In the summer of 1964, the senior management of Fiorentina appointed Giuseppe Chiappella as the new coach of the first team. Then Chiappella led the team in Serie A 1964/65 to fifth place and thus achieved participation in the Messestädte Cup of the following year, where, however, came early against the Czechoslovak representative Spartak Brno ZJŠ . In the Italian league Chiappella was fourth with Florence in the 1965/66 season , only behind Inter Milan , FC Bologna and newly promoted SSC Napoli. In the same year Chiappellas team reached the final of the Coppa Italia, where they met the southern Italian second division US Catanzaro . The final was won 2-1 by Fiorentina after extra time, the decisive goal in the penultimate minute of extra time was scored by Mario Bertini . By winning the Italian Football Cup, Fiorentina was eligible to compete in the 1966/67 European Cup Winners' Cup , where they failed in the first round against the Hungarian cup winner Rába ETO Győr . The following season, 1966/67 , was the last of Giuseppe Chiappella as coach of ACF Fiorentina. In Serie A they finished fifth and were eliminated in the national cup in the semi-finals against Inter Milan.

Naples, Cagliari and Inter

For the season 1968/69 Giuseppe Chiappella succeeded Bruno Pesaola as coach of SSC Napoli. He swapped jobs with Pesaola, who became the new coach of Fiorentina and won the Italian championship with the viola in his first season. Chiappella did not achieve such success with the SSC Napoli, whereby quite acceptable placements in Serie A jumped out under Egide Giuseppe Chiappellas. After having always achieved placements in the midfield of the league with coach Chiappella in the first two years, the team of SSC Napoli took third place in the first division in the 1970/71 season , you only had to the two Milanese clubs Inter and AC den Give way. With only nineteen goals conceded , the Napoli team provided the best defense in the Italian elite league. On the other hand, things did not go so well in the following season, when they only finished eighth. Also in the 1971/72 UEFA Cup , SSC Napoli were knocked out in the first round 2-1 after a return match against Romanian representatives Rapid Bucharest . In 1972/73 , Naples was able to almost confirm the previous year's position, after all match days it was again placed in the midfield with ninth place. In the previous year, Giuseppe Chiappella had advanced into the final for the Coppa Italia with SSC Napoli, but where they were defeated by AC Milan 2-0.

After the end of the 1972/73 season, Giuseppe Chiappella left SSC Napoli and became the new coach of Cagliari Calcio . The Italian champion from 1970 had established himself in the midfield of the league in the years after the championship and was also in the midfield of Serie A twice in the two years of coaching Chiappella. During the 1974/75 season , Giuseppe Chiappella was unsuccessful dismissed and replaced by the later AC Turin master coach , Luigi Radice . In the summer of 1975 he became coach of Inter Milan, which he led to fourth place in Serie A in its first season. The same placement was achieved in the following 1976/77 season , before Inter Milan and Giuseppe Chiappella parted ways. In his last Inter season, Giuseppe Chiappella led the team around players such as defender Giacinto Facchetti , midfielder Sandro Mazzola or attacker Pietro Anastasi into the final of the Coppa Italia, where they lost 2-0 to local rivals AC Milan.

Further stations

After his departure from Inter Milan, Giuseppe Chiappella coached only smaller clubs with relatively little success. After he briefly coached Fiorentina again in 1978 , he was in Serie A 1978/79 coach of Hellas Verona , with whom he promptly relegated to Serie B as bottom of the table and only fifteen points in thirty league games.

He then went to SC Pisa , his home club from players, where he reached fourteenth place in Serie B 1979/80, which did not meet the demands of the leadership of SC Pisa.

After separating from SC Pisa, Giuseppe Chiappella was a year later the new person in charge on the sidelines at the second division Pescara Calcio , where he was responsible for the club's relegation to Serie C1. They finished last in Serie B with only seventeen points scored and nineteen points behind a non-relegation zone.

Two years after relegation with Pescara, Giuseppe Chiappella held his last coaching position when he headed AC Arezzo for a year and barely avoided relegation from the second division. After that, Chiappella retired from the soccer business and lived in Milan .
