Massimo Mauro (born May 24, 1962 in Catanzaro , Italy ) is a former Italian football player and official and now a politician and TV commentator.

Football career

Massimo Mauro began his professional career at the club in his hometown, US Catanzaro , for which he made his Serie A debut on April 27, 1980 in a 3-0 draw against AC Milan under coach Carlo Mazzone . In the following two seasons Mauro, at the age of not even 20 years, was a regular for Catanzaro in the top Italian division and was able to reach single-digit table positions with the Calabrian club.

In the summer of 1982, Massimo Mauro, who was mostly used as a winger , moved to Udinese Calcio in northern Italy . There he was again a regular for the next three years and played alongside the Brazilian Zico , a superstar of the time. In 1985 he moved to Juventus Turin , where he had another absolute world-class player as a team-mate in Michel Platini . At Juve , he immediately won the World Cup and the Scudetto in his first season under coach Giovanni Trapattoni . The following three seasons were less successful for Mauro at the record champions. In 1988 he took part with the Italian Olympic team at the Summer Olympics in Seoul and just barely missed a medal after losing 3-0 in the game for third place against Germany.

For the 1989/90 season Massimo Mauro went to SSC Napoli . There, alongside greats like Diego Maradona , Careca or Gianfranco Zola , he immediately won the championship again. In the following three years, Mauro was not used as often. At the end of the 1992/93 season he ended his professional career after 307 Serie A games with 14 goals.
