Enzo BearzotGrande Ufficiale OMRI (Italian pronunciation:[ˈɛntsobearˈtsɔt,-ˈdzɔt];[2][3] 26 September 1927 – 21 December 2010) was an Italian professional football player and manager. A defender and midfielder, he led the Italy national team to victory in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
Nicknamed Vecio (standard Italian vecchio, 'old man'),[4] Bearzot coached the Italy national team the most (104 times, between September 1975 to June 1986).[5] He was noted for his phlegmatic personality and pipe smoking.[6]
A year after his death, an award was named in honour of the 1982 World Cup winning coach, the "Enzo Bearzot Award", for the best Italian coach of the year.[7]
