Mario Pizziolo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaːrjo pitˈtsjɔːlo]; 8 December 1909[a] – 30 April 1990) was an Italian football player and manager, who played as a central or defensive midfielder.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Pizziolo was born in Castellammare Adriatico, province of Pescara.[2][3] He started his club career in the youth teams of Livorno and Ternana,[2] and later played for the Pistoiese senior side (1925–1929),[2] before joining the senior team of Fiorentina, where he played between 1929 and 1936, playing 203 matches and scoring three goals in all competitions.[1]

He retired at 27.[1]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Pizziolo played twelve matches for Italy between 1933 and 1934, scoring one goal.[4] He was part of the gold-winning 1933–35 Central European International Cup squad,[4] and of the side that won the 1934 FIFA World Cup on home soil, in which he played one game, the first leg of the quarter-finals against Spain, in which he got seriously injured, breaking one of his legs, in a 1–1 draw after extra-time.[5] He would not play for Italy again.[6] As Pizziolo could not play any of the other games or the final match for Italy, he was not awarded a medal for his performance until 1988, two years before he died, in Florence, at the age of 80.[7]
