Career

Club career

Sergio Gori, born in 1946 in the northern Italian city of Milan, began playing football for the local noble club Inter Milan . After initially going through the club's youth department, Inter's coach at the time, Argentinian Helenio Herrera , appointed him to the first team in 1964. With the Grande Inter , as Inters was called in the 1960s very successful team around players such as Giacinto Facchetti , Armando Picchi or Luis Suárez , Sergio Gori won the Italian football championship twice in 1965 and 1966. In both seasons, however, he did not act as a regular and made only ten league games together in which he scored two goals. In addition to the successes in the league, Inter Milan was also very positive at the international level. With the system of Catenaccio we won in the season 1964/65 for the second consecutive year the European Champions Cup, the predecessor of the competition UEFA Champions League . After victories over Dinamo Bucharest , Glasgow Rangers and Liverpool FC , they reached the final, where Benfica Lisbon was defeated 1-0 by a goal from Jair da Costa . A little later, Inter was able to win the World Cup against Independiente Avellaneda . Sergio Gori only played a minor role in these successes, he was only a substitute.

As such, he left Inter Milan in 1966 and went to Lanerossi Vicenza to play there for two years until 1968 in the lower realms of Serie A football. In Vicenza Sergio Gori developed into a regular force and returned after 56 league games with sixteen goals in the summer of 1968 to Inter Milan, where he could not really assert himself again and only made fourteen league appearances in the Serie A 1968/69 .

Sergio Gori then left Inter Milan for a second time and joined the up-and-coming US Cagliari from Sardinia . With Cagliari, who was runner-up behind Fiorentina last year , Sergio Gori reached first place in Serie A in the 1969/70 season , four points ahead of his old club Inter Milan, and thus became Italian champion, which was the first and to this day last championship title of the Sardinian club meant. Coach Manlio Scopigno's team , which included players such as star striker Luigi Riva , goalkeeper Enrico Albertosi and midfielder Angelo Domenghini , provided the best defense with eleven goals conceded, but also knew how to build on a decent offensive with 42 goals scored . Over the course of the season, the US Cagliari team suffered only two defeats, each away at Inter Milan and US Palermo .

In the years after the surprising championship title, things went downhill for the club, which was renamed Cagliari Calcio in the summer of 1970 . As the reigning Italian champion you only ranked seventh after the end of the 1970/71 season . After a fourth place in the following season, the performance of the Sardinians was getting worse, finally the club had to start in 1976 as a knocked-down bottom of the table to go into the second division. But at this point Sergio Gori was no longer in Cagliari. He left the club in the summer of 1975 after 166 league games in which he scored 33 goals.

Gori went to Juventus Turin , where he again acted quite successfully. With one point ahead of local rivals AC Turin , Juventus won the Scudetto in the 1976/77 season , after having had to bow to Torino the previous year . A little later, Gori also won the UEFA Cup in the Juventus jersey after beating Spanish representative Athletic Bilbao in the final . After winning the European Cup, Sergio Gori changed clubs one last time and subsequently played for Hellas Verona , where he ended his football career in 1978 at the age of 32.

National team

In 1970 Sergio Gori came as a player in the US Cagliari to three international matches in the Italian national football team . From national coach Ferruccio Valcareggi he was appointed to the Italian squad for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico . During the tournament, Gori, who was to be deployed in the position of an attacker, played a game. In the quarter-final match between the Italians against hosts Mexico (final score: 4: 1), he replaced his club-mate Angelo Domenghini in the 85th minute. Before and after that, Sergio Gori did not make any further tournament appearances. The Italian team, however, reached the World Cup final after a 4: 3 win after extra time in the legendary match of the century against Germany , but clearly failed there with 1: 4 to Brazil's big team around Pelé , Carlos Alberto and Jairzinho .
