Humberto Dionisio Maschio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaskjo]; born 20 February 1933) is an Italian-Argentine former football player and manager who played as a forward or midfielder.
At international level, he represented both the
1957 Copa América, and the Italy national team, taking part in the 1962 FIFA World Cup
.
Club career
Maschio started playing at
Antonio Valentín Angelillo and Omar Sívori, moved from Argentina to play football in Italy after the tournament. There, the trio was also known as The Trio of Death due to their clinical ability in scoring goals.[2][3]
Maschio had originally been linked with a move to
Bologna in 1957, but although he paired up with Bernard Vukas
there, he was unable to recreate the form he showed at Racing.
From Bologna Maschio moved to
Atalanta, who bought a half-share in him during the 1959–60 season. In Bergamo Maschio regained the form that had taken him to international prominence scoring heavily, and creating numerous chances for his colleagues. At Atalanta Maschio moved from playing as central striker to a deeper role which allowed him to use his vision and creativity. So impressive was his form at Atalanta that he moved to Inter Milan in 1962. However, Maschio failed to fit in with manager Helenio Herrera who used him as a central striker and his time in Milan was of limited success. Following his time at Inter, Maschio briefly played with Fiorentina. His performance brought him to the Italy national team to play in the 1962 FIFA World Cup
.
He returned to Racing in 1966 to win the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup in 1967. He finished his career with the Avellaneda side with 44 goals in 139 matches.
International career
Argentina
Maschio played 12 games for the
1957 Copa América
, and was the top scorer of the tournament with 9 goals.
Italy
Following Maschio's move to Italy, along with his compatriots Sívori and Angelillo, the trio were banned from playing for the Argentina national team by the Argentine Football Federation, and missed out on the
Godiasco, in the province of Pavia),[5] Maschio was later also able to play two games for the Italian team in 1962, scoring no goals. In the 1962 World Cup played in Chile, Maschio was the captain of the Italian team and one of the protagonists of the infamous Battle of Santiago incidents in the match against the Chilean host team, in which Chilean player Leonel Sánchez broke his nose with a left hook; Italy lost the match 2–0, and were eliminated in the first round.[6]
