Career

Born in 1942 in Orviento in the province of Terni in central Italy , Mario Frustalupi began his career as a football player with the local club Orvietana Calcio. From there, the first division club Sampdoria Genua signed him in 1960, where he initially attended the youth department for a year, but was soon accepted into the first team of the northern Italians. After he could not assert himself immediately, Frustalupi was awarded to the lower class club FC Empoli from 1961 to 1962 , where he collected match practice and returned to Genoa as a regular . As a result, he also established himself at Sampdoria and became a regular. In the next eight years, Mario Frustalupi completed 202 league games in the Sampdoria Genoa jersey, in which he scored 22 goals. The midfielder was unable to achieve any great success at Samp , as the club was not one of the top teams in Italian football at the time.

In 1970 Mario Frustalupi was signed by the prestigious Inter Milan club. Under the new coach Giovanni Invernizzi , Internazionale was very successful in the 1970/71 season and at the end of the season became Italian football champions with four points ahead of local rivals AC Milan , which was the first title for Inter after the end of the era of Grande Inter of Coach Helenio Herrera meant. By the champion Inter was for the 1971-72 European Cup eligible and reached in this competition after victories against AEK Athens , Borussia Moenchengladbach , Standard Liege and Celtic the final and failed only there in the great team of Ajax Amsterdam to Johan Cruyff with 0: 2. The final of the European Cup in Rotterdam was also Mario Frustalupi's last game in the dress of Inter Milan, he left the club for Lazio Rome.

At Lazio Rome, Mario Frustalupi became part of the club's big team, which with coach Tommaso Maestrelli and players like Giorgio Chinaglia , Luciano Re Cecconi and Giuseppe Wilson only celebrated the return to Serie A and two years later sensationally crowned themselves Italian football champions. In the 1973/74 Serie A , Maestrelli's team achieved the first championship title for the Roman club by taking first place two points ahead of record champions Juventus Turin . But the great Lazio team did not last long. Maestrelli soon died of complications from cancer, as did Re Cecconi, who was shot. Chinaglia went to Cosmos New York and Mario Frustalupi didn't stay long with the Laziali either . He signed for the 1975/76 season a contract with league rivals AC Cesena.

In Cesena , Mario Frustalupi managed to surprisingly qualify for the UEFA Cup in his first season , which is the only participation of the club in an international competition to date. In the period that followed, the successes at AC Cesena were more and more absent and you had to go into the second division as the last of the Serie A 1976/77 . After relegation, Frustalupi left Cesena and joined AC Pistoiese , also a second division team. There he was involved in Pistoiese's only promotion for Serie A to date in the late autumn of his career. The first division adventure 1980/81 ended with the direct relegation, whereupon Mario Frustalupi announced the end of his active career as a football player.
