Bruno Giorgi (footballer)
Bruno Giorgi was an Italian football player and manager who played as a defender.Biography
After an unremarkable career with teams such as Palermo and Reggiana, Giorgi became a football coach. In 1989, after several experiences in minor league football, and immediately after narrowly missing top flight promotion with Serie B outsiders Cosenza, he took the head coaching job at ACF Fiorentina where he performed badly at domestic league level but also leading the club to the 1989–90 UEFA Cup final, being however removed from his position before the two-legged final itself was actually played.
In 1993, he was appointed head coach of Cagliari, an experience that ended after only one season with a remarkable 1993–94 UEFA Cup semi-final. He returned briefly at Cagliari in 1996 to replace Giovanni Trapattoni, and successively retired from football altogether.
On 29 September 2010 it was revealed that Bruno Giorgi had died exactly a week earlier in a Reggio Emilia clinic.
