Giampiero Vitali (1 August 1940 — 20 May 2001) was an Italian football defender and later manager.[1][2] He died in 2001, aged 60, due to an incurable disease.[3][4]
Overall, as a player, he scored 81 appearances and 2 goals in Serie A with Lazio, Fiorentina and Brescia, 124 appearances and 9 goals in Serie B with Triestina, SPAL and Massese, 255 appearances and 25 goals in Serie C with Fanfulla and Massese. With Massese he obtained a promotion from Serie C to Serie B, still setting the record for matches played in the league with 245 appearances.[5]
When he ceased playing sports, he had twenty years of experience as a coach (to his credit 13 Serie B championships), leading, among other things, Parma for two seasons before the advent of Nevio Scala and Palermo twice. He obtained one admission to the new Serie C1 championship with Empoli (1977-1978 season), a promotion from Serie C1 to Serie B in 1982-1983 always at the lead of Empoli and ended his career at Carrara, in Serie C1, season 1997-1998, when hired as Technical Director, the management asked him to return to coaching (with the team relegated to the last place in the standings), managing to save the Tuscans.[6][7]
In total, as a professional coach, he directed 539 matches in the league, of which 317 in Serie B, 154 in Serie C1 and 68 in Serie C2.[8] Since 2001, the year of his death, a sporting event has been organized annually in Tuscany in memory of him,[9] which attracts great personalities from the world of sport.[10][11][12]
In 2020 the Stadio degli Oliveti in Massa was named after him.[13]
