Enzo Bearzot was not only the coach of Italian team during the 1982 World Cup in Spain, finished (as everybody knows) with an unexpected triumph of the Azzurri, but - more than this - he was a reserved and honest man, who preferred to stay away from the lights of success and to lead a simple life.
In Italy, of course, football is more than a religion and football actors are worshipped, rich and loved, but Enzo Bearzot decided to leave all this fame and attention just to his players.
He was called "Vecio" (old man in the dialect of his region; the Friuli Venezia-Giulia just like Fabio Capello) because of his appearance, even when he wasn't old at all.
Anyway he was an old-times gentleman that Italian sport, and football in particular, need today more than ever.
