Luigi "Gigi" Maifredi (born April 20, 1947 in Lograto (BS) , Italy ) is a former Italian football coach who now works for Italian television.

Coaching career

Luigi Maifredi gained his first experience as a coach at the amateur club AS Orceana in Orzinuovi , which he led up to the C2 series . He then coached FC Ospitaletto and rose to Serie C1 with this team, which played convincing offensive football under him . Luigi Maifredi himself called his fast and dynamic football Calcio Champagne , because he said that it was just as hot and foamy as the French drink.

During his further coaching career, he later looked after the FC Bologna , which he led from Serie B to Serie A in the 1987/88 season . In the following season he even reached a UEFA Cup place with the promoted team and was therefore later committed by Luca Cordero di Montezemolo as coach of Juventus Turin for the 1990/91 season .

After Maifredi's great rise from the depths of Italian amateur football to the coaching chair at Juventus, nothing but a great season was expected of him. But this started very badly with a 5-1 defeat in the Supercup game at SSC Napoli and ended with seventh place in the table in Serie A, with which one could not even qualify for the European Cup. Maifredi was then dismissed from Juve. This was the beginning of the worse times in Luigi Maifredi's coaching career, he was hired at FC Bologna, CFC Genoa , AC Venice , Brescia Calcio , Espérance Sportive de Zarzis in Tunisia and Albacete Balompié in Spain and later fired again.

In the 2000/01 season he wanted to start again at AC Reggiana in Serie C1, but there too he was dismissed on October 23, 2000 after a 1: 4 defeat by Antonio Cabrini's AC Arezzo . In 2003 he retired completely from the coaching business and worked for the RAI football show " Quelli che il calcio " , in which the Maifredi team , a small team of former professionals, re-enacted Serie A goals. In the 2004/05 season, the president of Lazio Rome , Claudio Lotito , wanted to sign him as a replacement for the sacked Domenico Caso , but after a week back and forth, he decided on Giuseppe Papadopulo .
