LAZIO THE COACH Dino ZOFF. Age 51 (born February 28, 1942). In his day one of the great goalkeepers and Italy's World Cup-winning captain in 1982. Born near Venice the teenage Zoff was turned down by Inter so made his name, instead with Udinese. He moved to Napoli with whom he was starring when he made his Italy debut against Bulgaria in the 1968 European Championship. Italy went on to beat Yugoslavia, with Zoffin goal, in the Final. Later Zoff completed a record 112 appearances for Italy, spending the last years of his career with Juventus whom he later coached to victory in the UEFA Cup and Italian Cup.

Instead, thanks to the coaching of former international Lido Vieri, Marchegiani took over as No. 1 and was a key figure in Torino's run to last year's UEFA Cup Final.
