Emiliano Mondonico (9 March 1947 – 29 March 2018) was an Italian professional footballer and coach. He played as a winger.

His playing career was spent mostly with

AlbinoLeffe. With Torino, he reached the final of the 1991–92 UEFA Cup and won the 1992–93 Coppa Italia
.

Club career

Mondonico with Torino in 1968

Mondonico grew up playing in the youth team of Rivoltana, an amateur team in his hometown of

Atalanta in the 1971–72 season.[2] He later returned to Cremonese where he ended his playing career after seven seasons disputed between Serie B and Serie C in 1979.[2]

Managerial career

Mondonico began his managerial career with the Cremonese youth team in 1979.[3] In 1982, he became manager of the senior team, and in 1984, achieved a historic promotion to Serie A with Cremonese.

In 1987, he moved to

Atalanta, and guided them to the semi-finals of the 1987–88 European Cup Winners' Cup.[4]

In 1990, he joined

Roma.[4]

In 1994, he returned to Atalanta for a second time, and later had a second spell with Torino as well between 1998 and 2000, before coaching

Napoli during the 2000–01 season, although he was unable to help the club avoid relegation to Serie B.[2][7]

After a two-year spell with

AlbinoLeffe in Serie B in 2006, before returning to Cremonese the following year for a third time.[2][5][7]

In September 2009, Mondonico was appointed as head coach of AlbinoLeffe once again to replace

Piacenza in the playoffs, but on 13 June he held an emotional press conference to announce that the illness had returned during the final period of the season and that he was seriously considering stepping down as a consequence.[15] On 17 June 2011, Mondonico was confirmed to have resigned from AlbinoLeffe in order to focus solely on cancer treatment; he was replaced by his assistant Daniele Fortunato, who had already undertaken the first team coaching duties during his previous sick leave.[16][17]

On 30 January 2012, Mondonico marked his Serie A comeback, replacing

Novara, who were last-placed in the Italian top flight and seven points shy of relegation safety after the first half of the season.[18] On 6 March 2012 he was sacked.[19]

Death

Mondonico died at the age of 71 on 29 March 2018, from stomach cancer.[2][4][5][7][20]
