Player career

Paolo Carosi, born on April 8, 1938 in Tivoli , a town in the central Italian region of Latium , began playing football at the AS Tivoli club based in his hometown . There he first attended the youth department and from 1957 to 1958 he played in the first team of his club for a year. Playing there, the capital club Lazio became aware of the young midfielder. Carosi was signed by Lazio in the summer of 1958 at the age of twenty. He then spent nine years with this club until 1968, only interrupted by a one-year loan to Udinese Calcio in the 1962/63 season. For Lazio Rome, Paolo Carosi played in 174 league games in these nine years, in which he scored a total of two goals. With his team Carosi moved into the final of the Coppa Italia in the 1960/61 season , but where they were defeated 0-2 to Fiorentina . Paolo Carosi was on the pitch in this final, while he missed the victorious Lazio final in the 1958 Coppa Italia because he only joined the club a few weeks later. At the time of Paolo Carosi's commitment , he was in Serie A , but in the following years he also experienced second division football for a few years. In the year of reaching the cup final, Lazio rose from bottom of the table with just eighteen season points reached in Serie B and missed promotion there in the first year. It was not until 1962/63, when Paolo Carosi spent the season in Udine and was used there 29 times in the course of the season at Lazios league competitor, that his home club managed to return to the top class. They stayed there until 1967, before relegation followed. Paolo Carosi then played for a year for Lazio Rome in Serie B before he left his employer in the summer of 1968 after finishing eleventh in the Italian second division.

Carosi went to league competitor CC Catania for a year , where he was used only nine times during the 1968/69 season. He then joined the then fourth division club L'Aquila Calcio , where he played football for a year and finally ended his football career in the summer of 1970 at the age of 32.

Coaching career

After the end of his career as an active football player, Paolo Carosi initially returned to Lazio Rome to take on the coaching position of the club's youth team. In this role he worked from 1972 to 1977 and thus belonged to the club when it had its successful phase in the 1970s. Under coach Tommaso Maestrelli , Lazio won the Italian football championship in 1974 for the first time in its history.

1977 Paolo Carosi signed a contract with the second division US Avellino . In Campania Carosi had great success and led his team to third place in Serie B 1977/78 , only behind Ascoli Calcio and US Catanzaro . This meant for the first time in the history of the US Avellino promotion to Serie A, in which the club should hold out for ten years until relegation in 1988. To this day, Paolo Carosi is the only promotion coach of the club, which has now been renamed AS Avellino 1912 , which has not been able to return to Serie A since 1988, but is now back in second class after years of financial difficulties.

As a promotion coach Paolo Carosi left Avellino after only one year, his successor was Rino Marchesi , who was able to establish the club in the first division. Carosi took over the vacant coaching position at Fiorentina , where he then worked for three years. In the first two seasons, positions in the upper third of the table were achieved, but it was not enough to intervene in the battle for the championship. In Serie A 1980/81 Carosi was replaced around the middle of the season by the former Fiorentina player Giancarlo De Sisti , who again led the club to fifth. From 1981 to 1982 Paolo Carosi then coached Cagliari Calcio and reached a non-relegation place with the club just one point ahead. In the following year Carosi took over at first division relegated FC Bologna during the season from Alfredo Magni . He was released thirteen match days later, and Bologna immediately relegated to Serie C1 at the end of the season . In the same year, Lazio returned to Serie A, but Argentinian coach Juan Carlos Morrone was sacked after just twelve match days . Lazio hired Paolo Carosi as the new trainer and narrowly secured relegation over the course of the season. In the following year Carosi was dismissed himself after only two match days and replaced by his predecessor in office. In 1986 he finally had his last coaching position at AC Monza Brianza , but rose with the club in the third division.
