Player career

Romano Cazzaniga was born on February 17, 1943 in Roncello , a municipality with now nearly five thousand inhabitants in the province of Monza and Brianza in the Italian region of Lombardy . In his youth, Cazzaniga played football for Pro Patria Calcio before he signed his first adult contract with the US Poggibonsi in 1965 , but only played there on loan from Pro Patria. Cazzaniga guarded the goal of his club in fifteen games in Serie D , but rose with this at the end of the season from the then fourth-class league and then returned to Pro Patria Calcio. There the goalkeeper spent the following three years from 1966 to 1969 and completed 87 league games for the club during this phase. At that time, Pro Patria played in Serie C , placing in the middle of the table were achieved.

In the summer of 1969, Romano Cazzaniga moved to AC Monza in Serie B , where in the first year with fifth place promotion to Serie A was missed by only three points over third party CC Catania . As a result, however, such good results could not be achieved and AC Monza rose with Romano Cazzaniga in goal after the end of the second division season 1972/73 in the Serie C. The regular goalkeeper then left the club from his home region after 103 appearances in the league and joined AS Reggina , which also played second class at the time. As an eighteenth, however, you had to go into the third division due to the worse goal difference compared to Football Brindisi . Then Cazzaniga left Reggio Calabria after 36 missions and played for AS Taranto . In a year in Serie B Cazzaniga was a regular goalkeeper, made 35 league games and helped his team to reach twelfth place in the table.

From 1975 to 1978 Romano Cazzaniga had his last position as an active football goalkeeper at the first division club AC Turin , where he was always in the shadow of regular goalkeeper Luciano Castellini and only made three appearances in the league in these three years. In the first year of Cazzaniga's engagement in Turin , the team around players like Francesco Graziani , Paolino Pulici and Renato Zaccarelli won the Italian football championship, the first title for the club since the Superga plane crash in 1949 and the associated end of the so-called grande Torino . Cazzaniga was the second goalkeeper behind Castellini, but was used in three games of the season and thus had a share in the Scudetto's win . In the following year, coach Luigi Radice's team was one of the top teams in Serie A, but missed defending the title by one point against local rivals Juventus Turin .

Romano Cazzaniga, who never played an international match, ended his career as a football goalkeeper in 1978 in the shirt of the club that had been renamed Torino Calcio a year earlier and remained loyal to it since then .

Coaching career

Romano Cazzaniga rose after he had previously worked as a goalkeeping coach for Torino Calcio, after nineteen game days of Serie A 1980/81 for the dismissed Ercole Rabitti as head coach at the club. After a bad start under Rabitti, Cazzaniga Torino Calcio still led to ninth place in Serie A and had nothing to do with the relegation battle towards the end of the season. In the Coppa Italia 1980/81 Cazzaniga reached the final with his teams after successes over SPAL Ferrara and FC Bologna in quarter-finals and semi-finals, where they met AS Roma . As in the previous year - in 1979/80 Torino Calcio lost to the Roma on penalties - they had to admit defeat to the capital city. After both the first and second leg ended 1-1, AS Roma won the penalty shootout under Nils Liedholm 4-2, with Eraldo Pecci and Francesco Graziani missing in the jersey of Torino Calcio . After the end of the season, Romano Cazzaniga was replaced as coach of Torino Calcio by Massimo Giacomini .

Cazzaniga worked in 1982 as an assistant coach under Giuseppe Marchioro at the US Avellino , but was dismissed along with his boss after only five game days of Serie A in 1982/83 . In the 1983/84 season Romano Cazzaniga worked as an assistant to his former coach at Torino Calcio, Luigi Radice, at Inter Milan . After only fourth place was reached in Serie A, the cooperation between the club and the coaching team was not extended.

Romano Cazzaniga only returned to the football stage in 2002 and briefly took over as coach at AC Monza Brianza in Serie C1 , but was relegated with the club at the end of the season. From 2009 Cazzaniga worked for Tritium Calcio 1908 , initially as a goalkeeper coach until 2012. He held the same position again from 2012 to 2013 and was also assistant coach.
