Juan Carlos Morrone , in the Italian-speaking area Giancarlo Morrone (born February 5, 1941 in Buenos Aires ) is a former Argentine-Italian football player and later coach. As an active player for a long time in Italy for Lazio Rome , AC Florence , US Foggia and US Avellino , he later worked as a coach exclusively in Europe and was mainly to be found in the coaching staff of Lazio for a long time.

Player career

Juan Carlos Morrone was born on February 5, 1941 in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires and began playing football at the Club Atlético Platense, which is located there . At Platense, Morrone first played in his youth and was finally included in the first team of the second division in 1958. Juan Carlos Morrone played with CA Platense for three seasons in the second Argentine soccer league and scored a respectable 46 goals during this time. This attracted the attention of the Italian first division club Lazio Rome , who took Juan Carlos Morrone under contract for the 1960/61 season .

However Morrone increased with Lazio in his first year with the new employer as a Table of Serie A in 1960/61 in the Serie B from. There, too, only fourth place in the table was reached and thus the direct re- promotion just missed by one point against FC Modena . In 1962/63, however, this company succeeded and Lazio returned with striker Juan Carlos Morrone after two years of absence back to the first Italian football league. In Serie B the third place was occupied with three points ahead of the first non-promotion place, occupied by AC Brescia . With ninth place in the Serie A 1963/64 they could confidently secure the league. After the end of the first division season in 1963/64, Juan Carlos Morrone left Lazio Rome after four years and 114 league games with 31 goals and moved to the top club Fiorentina . The native Argentine, nicknamed El Gaucho, spent the next two seasons in Florence as a regular player and posted 61 league appearances with thirteen goals in this time. In addition to fourth and fifth in the two Erstligaspielzeiten managed Morrone with Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia in 1965/66 reaching the final after the one after Genoa , the US Palermo , CC Catania of AC Milan and Inter Milan were off. In the final, Florence met the underdog US Catanzaro , who surprisingly made it to the finals and who demanded a strong fight from the big favorite. Without Juan Carlos Morrone, who was not used in the final, Fiorentina won 2-1 against Catanzaro in extra time.

Juan Carlos Morrone returned to Lazio in the summer of 1966 and spent the next five years of his career with the Laziali . During this time, the club went through a very difficult phase, which resulted in two relegations from Serie A in 1967 and 1971. After relegation in the 1966/67 season , only rank eleven was occupied in the subsequent Serie B season. During this phase of the club's history, Juan Carlos Morrone was a regular for Lazio Rome and recorded 125 league appearances between 1966 and 1971, in which he scored a poor sixteen goals for a striker. In 1971, the now naturalized Morrone joined US Foggia , which had just been relegated from Serie A together with Lazio Rome. Morrone played football in Foggia for two years , making 43 league games with four goals during that time. In the 1972/73 season he was part of the US Foggia team, which managed to return to Serie A as third in Serie B behind CFC Genoa and AC Cesena . However, Juan Carlos Morrone was no longer really a regular in coach Lauro Toneatto's team . After the rise with the US Foggia Morrone went for two years to the up-and-coming Campanian club US Avellino , where he made 26 league games from 1973 to 1975 and did not score a goal. In 1975 Juan Carlos Morrone ended his playing career at the age of 35.

Coaching career

After the end of his playing career, Juan Carlos Morrone was part of the coaching staff of Lazio for a long time from 1975 to 1987. He worked in various functions, including for a short time in 1983 as a first team coach. This was towards the end of Serie B 1982/83 in the race for promotion, when coach Roberto Clagluna was surprisingly dismissed after 33 game days. The club management presented the coaching duo Juan Carlos Morrone and Roberto Lovati as a successor solution , with which the promotion finally succeeded as second in the table. For the new season, Morrone remained as the sole coach and led Lazio at the beginning of Serie A 1983/84 . After twelve matchdays, however, he was dismissed due to unsuccessfulness and replaced by Paolo Carosi , also a former player of Lazios, who just managed to stay up. Then Morrone returned to the coaching staff of the club, to which he belonged until 1987. In that year, Morrone moved to the coaching staff of SSC Napoli and worked until 1991 as the youth coach of the SSC, which at that time experienced its most successful phase in the club's history.

After he was youth coach of AS Lodigiani from 1991 to 1993 , Juan Carlos Morrone took over the post of head coach at the club in 1993, but only worked there briefly. Various stations followed in primarily third-class Italian football. For example, Morrone coached FC Crotone from 1997 to 1998 , the US Catanzaro the following season and Lodigiani again from 2002 to 2004. However, he was not granted great success in his coaching career.
