About Claudio Gentile
Claudio Gentile is an Italian football manager and former player who played as a defender in the 1970s and 1980s. Gentile later coached the Italy national under-21 team which won the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, and the Olympic team which won a bronze at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. In over a decade with Juventus, Gentile won two major European club competitions (1976–77 UEFA Cup and 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup), six Serie A championships, and two Coppa Italias. Italy then faced tournament favorites Brazil in the next second-round group match and won 3–2, in which Paolo Rossi scored a hat trick, while Gentile was tasked with marking Brazilian star playmaker Zico. He returned to the starting line-up for the final against West Germany where Italy won 3–1.
