Umberto Pinardi (22 May 1928 – 21 June 2025) was an Italian professional football player and coach.[1][2]
Life and career
Born in San Martino Sinzano, a Collecchio frazione, at young age Pinardi moved to Milan, where he became passionate for football playing in amateur parish clubs.[3] A full-back and centre-half defender, he made his professional debut in 1947, playing in the Serie B club Gallaratese.[3] He made his Serie A debut with Como, and in 1954 he moved to Juventus, where a serious injury compromised his tenure in the club and the rest of his career.[3]
As a football manager, Pinardi started his career in Serie D, and spent most years in Serie B, even having a brief Serie A stint with Palermo.[3] As a coach, he is best remembered for having launched the career of Evaristo Beccalossi at Brescia.[3]
Pinardi died on 21 June 2025, at the age of 97.[3][4]
