Career

Club career

Moreno Mannini, born in 1962 in the Emilian city of Imola , began playing football at the local club FC Imola , where he first went through the youth department and was accepted into the first team in 1980. However, since Imola only played in the fifth-tier Serie D at the time , the talented defender soon had the opportunity to move to a higher division. After 25 league games for FC Imola, in 1981 he went to Forlì FC in Serie C1 , Italy's third division, where he was active for another year, only making ten league appearances, but still attracted the interest of the second division club FC Como . Under coach Tarcisio Burgnich , once a successful player at Inter Milan , Mannini was a regular in the FC Como team and played for the northern Italian club for the next two years. After a fifth place in 1982/83 achieved in the 1983/84 season by reaching the second place in the Serie B , only behind Atalanta Bergamo , the promotion to the Serie A . After returning to the top class, Moreno Mannini left FC Como and joined the ambitious top club Sampdoria Genoa .

In Genoa developed under the aegis of President Paolo Mantovani a great team. Mantovani managed to guide players such as attacker Roberto Mancini , strike partner Gianluca Vialli or defensive player Pietro Vierchowod to the previously insignificant club. In his first season at Sampdoria, Moreno Mannini won the first title in the club's history with coach Eugenio Bersellini's team . In the final of the Coppa Italia they defeated AC Milan . Mannini was not used in the two finals. He only became an absolute regular at Sampdoria when the Yugoslav Vujadin Boškov succeeded Bersellini in 1986 . Under Boškov, the most successful phase in the history of the Sampdoria Genoa club happened. In his six-year tenure from 1986 to 1992, Sampdoria Genoa won the Coppa Italia twice, the Italian championship once and the European Cup Winners' Cup once. Furthermore, the Italian Super Cup was won in 1991. Moreno Mannini was in Gothenburg on May 9, 1990 , when Sampdoria Genoa won the European Cup Winners' Cup against Belgian representative RSC Anderlecht , after having been in the final of this competition the previous year, but losing 2-0 to FC Barcelona . 1991 marked the climax of the successful era of Sampdoria Genoa, when they were the first in Serie A in 1990/91 to win the coveted Scudetto , the Italian football championship, five points ahead of AC Milan . To this day, this is considered the greatest success of Sampdoria Genoa. The Italian championship also allowed them to compete in the 1991/92 European Cup , the last of its kind before the UEFA Champions League was introduced. In the national championship coup 1991/92 Samp reached the final after victories over Rosenborg Trondheim , Honvéd Budapest , Roter Stern Belgrade , RSC Anderlecht and Panathinaikos Athens , where they were defeated by FC Barcelona with 0: 1 after extra time. The 1992 London final marked the end of Sampdoria Genoa's sporting high phase. Coach Boškov resigned, President Mantovani died a year later. The Swede Sven-Göran Eriksson followed the Yugoslavs as coach of Sampdoria. However, he could not build on the successful times and the only title of his tenure, which lasted from 1992 to 1997, the Coppa Italia get in the 1993/94 season in the final against Ancona Calcio . When Eriksson left in 1997, the Argentine César Luis Menotti became the new coach. Menotti's game philosophy got the Sampdoria team, in which a majority of the players who caused a sensation in the late 1980s, were still there, and they found themselves in a relegation battle. Even the stepping in of successful coach Boškov could not prevent the relegation of Sampdoria Genoa only seven years after the championship. In contrast to other players such as Mancini, Moreno Mannini stayed with Sampdoria Genoa even after relegation. He played with the club for two more years in Serie B, the promotion was denied. In 1999 he left the club and went to England to Nottingham Forest and a year later back to his hometown club Imola FC, where he ended his football career in 2000.

With 377 league games in the shirt of Sampdoria Genoa, Moreno Mannini is still the player with the second most games for the northern Italian club. Only Roberto Mancini has more to show with 566 appearances.

National team

In 1992 and 1993 Moreno Mannini was used in ten international matches for the Italian national football team . Coach Arrigo Sacchi helped him to his first international match on February 19, 1992, which the Italian team won 4-0 against San Marino at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena . Nine more missions followed, but all without a goal. Moreno Mannini played his last international match on May 1, 1993 as part of qualifying for the 1994 World Cup in the United States against Switzerland in Bern . The game ended in Italy's 1-0 away win. After that, Moreno Mannini's national team time ended after only ten internationals. A large number of country competitions were prevented by the fact that he did not manage to get past the two nearly seeded defenders Giuseppe Bergomi and Antonio Benarrivo respectively .
