About Lido Vieri

Born 1939. Lido Vieri is an Italian association football player and association football coach.

Lido Vieri (; born 16 July 1939) is an Italian former football player and manager who played as a goalkeeper. He won the 1968 European Championship and was a runner-up at the 1970 FIFA World Cup with the Italy national team.

Club career During his club career, he played for Torino, Inter and Pistoiese. Vieri won the Coppa Italia with Torino during the 1967–68 season, and the 1970–71 Serie A with Inter.

International career Vieri earned four caps for the Italy national team between 1963 and 1968. He was a backup keeper to Dino Zoff and Albertosi in Italy's victorious 1968 UEFA European Football Championship campaign on home soil under manager Ferruccio Valcareggi, and also at the 1970 FIFA World Cup, where Italy reached the final. Throughout his career, he was often perceived as an aggressive, vocal, and commanding goalkeeper, gaining a degree of infamy for his temperament.
