Renato Cesarini (born April 11, 1906 in Senigallia ( AN ), Italy , † March 24, 1969 in Buenos Aires , Argentina ) was an Argentine - Italian football player and football coach .

A few months after his birth, his family immigrated to Argentina. In some biographies, Buenos Aires is therefore given as his place of birth.

Renato Cesarini was a famous representative of the Oriundi , a generation of players with Italian ancestry who grew up abroad and later returned to their old homeland and also played for the national team there. During his active career he played as an attacking winger, his strengths being his great technique and his intuitive game intelligence.

Cesarini died on March 24, 1969 at the age of 62 after a brief illness in Buenos Aires.

Player career

In the club

Renato Cesarini began his career at Borgata Palermo , the club in the neighborhood he lived in Buenos Aires. In 1925 he rose to the first division with the Chacarita Juniors . A year later he moved to Alvear , after which he played for a short time in 1929 for Ferrocarril and again for Chacarita.

In 1929 Renato Cesarini was signed by Juventus Turin , for whom he made his Serie A debut on March 23, 1930 in a 2-2 draw against SSC Napoli . He completed 16 games for Juve in the 1929/30 season, the first ever Serie A season, and scored ten goals. In the 1930/31 season he won his first of five Italian championships with Juventus and contributed nine goals. In the following years he was a regular in the legendary team of Quinquennio d'Oro , which won five championships in a row between 1931 and 1935 under coach Carlo Carcano . He made a total of 147 games for Juve and scored 53 goals.

Due to his rebellious character and his extroversion, he is still one of the most atypical players in the history of Juventus Turin, who to this day attach great importance to seriousness and adaptation in their players. In the summer of 1935 he went back to Argentina, first to the Chacarita Juniors, later to River Plate , with whom he was able to win the Argentine championship in 1936 and 1937.

Cesarini ended his active career in the late 1930s.

In the national team

Renato Cesarini first played two international matches for Argentina in which he scored a goal. He made his debut on May 29, 1926.

Later he played for Italy . He made his debut on January 25, 1931 in the Squadra Azzurra in the game against France . The game ended 5-0 and Cesarini scored his first international goal straight away. On December 13, 1931, he scored the winning goal against Hungary in the last minute of the game to make it 3-2. Since he had already scored shortly before the end of a few championship games, the reporter spoke of the " Zona Cesarini ". This expression is still used in Italy today for scoring goals in the last minutes of a game.

Between 1931 and 1932 Cesarini was a regular in the Italian national team, but an injury and his later move to Argentina put his national team career to an early end. On February 11, 1934 in a 2: 4 against Austria , he completed his last international match. Overall, Cesarini played eleven times for Italy and scored three goals.

Coaching career

After the end of his career, Renato Cesarini helped build the legendary youth department at River Plate , and his football style is still considered one of the best organized in the world. At river he brought u. a. Greats like Omar Sívori . He later also coached River Plate and led the team to two championships. His legendary team of that time is still known today as La Maquina .

Cesarini later worked in Argentina at Banfield (1949), the Boca Juniors (1950) and in the youth department of River Plate (1950-1958) as a coach.

Cesarini was the head coach of Juventus Turin between 1946 and 1948 and from 1959 to 1961. In his second term at Juve , he was able to lead to the Italian championship in 1959/60 and 1960/61 and to win the Coppa Italia in 1959/60 . At least in 1966 he worked again as coach River Plates and pushed the Argentines into the final of the Copa Libertadores 1966 .

From 1967 to 1968 Renato Cesarini worked as national coach for Argentina .
