Tarcisio Burgnich Sports manager
Tarcisio Burgnich (Italian pronunciation: [tarˈtʃiːzjo ˈburɡnitʃ]; 25 April 1939, Ruda, Italy) is a former Italian football defender; he was capable of playing any defensive position, being adept as a sweeper, as a centre-back, and also as a full-back on the right. He has Austrian blood from paternal side since the city of Udine was being part of Austria-Hungary Empire before WW1. Due to his imposing stature and physique, as well as his tenacious style of play, Inter team-mate Armando Picchi (who was the captain and sweeper of the side) gave him the nickname "La Roccia" (The Rock); however, despite his hard-tackling, he was a very correct player.
