Marino Nicolich (30 July 1910 – after 1939), also known as Marino Nicoli,

full back
. He made 100 appearances in the top two tiers of Italian football in the late 1920s and 1930s.

Career

Nicolich was born in

Venezia Giulia, to face their Tuscan counterparts. Il Littoriale [it] reported that the Venezia Giulia team did not live up to expectations, and its strength lay in its defence, which partnered "the cunning and Olympian calm of Lorenzo Gazzari with the exuberant impetuosity of the youthful Nicolich"; the match ended 2–2.[3] He played in all but one of Monfalcone's matches in the 1929–30 Serie B season, before playing nine games for Spezia[4] at the end of the following campaign while stationed in the area on military service.[5][6]

Having failed to persuade

full backs, Mario De Micheli and Renato Bodini. While physically similar to Gazzari, and now possessed of a similar calmness, Nicolich was less speedy in clearing the ball but compensated by placing it more precisely, to be more useful to the recipient, and he had the better of individual duels with Serie A top scorer Rodolfo Volk.[8][9] Nicolich made his first-team and Serie A debut on 28 October 1931, replacing De Micheli for the visit to Pro Patria. He made several errors, which unsettled the midfield, and Roma twice had to come from behind to draw 2–2.[6][10] He appeared twice more for the first team, but did not do himself justice,[1] and was transfer-listed at the end of the season.[6]

Nicolich returned to Monfalcone,

Venezia of Serie B, where again he played little, before returning to Monfalcone in 1938.[1]
