Riccardo Maspero (born 19 February 1970) is an Italian former
attacking midfielder
, and now a head coach.
Club career
Maspero's career came to prominence most notably with his time at then-
Cremonese,[1] with whom he started playing professionally and played in two one-year spells in the Italian top flight. He came into his own during the promotion season of 1992–93 and impressed greatly in a side coached by Luigi Simoni which finished 10th in Serie A during the 1993–94 season.[1] He established a reputation as a gifted playmaker
.
A move to
Sampdoria followed, but he failed to make his mark and returned to Cremonese after one season. Despite outstanding form and a healthy return of goals from midfield, he was unable to prevent successive relegations.[1]
His career declined after a move to
Torino for the 2000–01 Serie B season.[1]
Maspero's career was rejuvenated with the Granata, and he played a role in the team's return to
Derby della mole; Torino had initially been trailing 3–0. He also helped Torino to win an UEFA Intertoto Cup spot that season. After Torino suffered relegation to Serie B in 2003, he moved on to Fiorentina before playing in the amateur leagues, where he ended his career.[1]
Coaching career
After retirement, Maspero took a coaching job at
Pavia, who appointed him as new head coach for the 2014–15 season
thereafter.
On 13 November 2018, he was hired by
Pro Piacenza as head coach.[2]
As Pro Piacenza experienced financial difficulties, he left the club in early 2019.
On 25 February 2019, he signed with
Giana Erminio.[3] He was dismissed by Giana Erminio on 27 September 2019 after the team only gained 2 points in the preceding 6 games.[4]
In July 2021, after two years of inactivity, Maspero was hired as the new head coach of Serie D amateurs Franciacorta.[5]
