Mário Travaglini (born April 30, 1932 in São Paulo ; † February 20, 2014 there ) was a Brazilian football player and coach . In the 1960s he enjoyed great success as the coach of SE Palmeiras .

Player career

Travaglini, who grew up in Bom Retiro, a district of São Paulo, was promoted to the CA Ypiranga youth team at the age of 16 by coach Francisco Minelli, the father of Rubens Minelli , who later became a very successful coach . There the defender made his debut in September 1953 in the professional team in a game in the Estádio do Pacaembu for the national championship against the top club Corinthians São Paulo .

In later years he also played in São Paulo with SE Palmeiras and Nacional AC - where he played together with his brother Nino - and in Campinas with AA Ponte Preta , where he ended his playing career in 1962 at the age of 29. Afterwards he worked for some time as a property manager at a railway company, where he probably benefited from the economics studies that had accompanied his time as a player for a long time.

Coaching career

Travaglini returned to football as early as 1963 and became a youth coach at Palmeiras, but soon became head coach. In 1966 he won the São Paulo state championship with the club . The year 1967 became even more successful when he won both national competitions by winning Taça Brasil , the predecessor of today's Brazilian Cup competition , and Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa , the forerunner of today's national championship , practically the first double in Brazilian football history reached. Djalma Santos and Ademir da Guia were among the top performers of the Brazilian club team of those years, which was outstanding in the expiring Pelé era.

In 1974 he won the now official Brazilian championship of 1974 with CR Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro . Also in Rio, with Fluminense FC , he won the state championship of Rio de Janeiro in 1976 and in the same year was also awarded the Cidadão , an honorary Carioca , appointed. With the Corinthians São Paulo he won another championship of São Paulo in 1982. He also worked as a coach at São Paulo FC and clubs in Araraquara and São Bento.

With Brazil he won gold as a selection coach at the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico in 1979.

Travaglini has also worked several times as a sports director for clubs such as Corinthians.

Later years

In the 1990s, Mário Travaglini appeared frequently as a television commentator at football events. Most recently, the unmarried and childless Travaglini lived in São Paulo, where he became chairman of the São Paulo coaching union in 2007, the Sindicato dos Treinadores de Futebol do Estado de São Paulo . In 2008 his biography Mário Travaglini - da Academia à Democracia , written by Márcio Trevisan and Helvio Borelli, was published. On February 20, 2014 he succumbed to cancer after spending several weeks in hospital in São Paulo .
