“Rivera has helped write the history of football but he was still humble enough to become a student again.” Nigeria
Gianni Rivera could potentially take charge of the next Serie A team to dump their manager after the former Italy attacker and AC Milan hero earned Europe’s most important coaching licence at the tender age of 76.
“Rivera has helped write the history of football but he was still humble enough to become a student again. He was a brilliant student and didn’t miss a single lesson,” said Renzo Uliveri, head of the Italian coaching association AIAC, to the Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday. Gazzetta had suggested Rivera, who won the 1968 European Championship with Italy and two European Cups with Milan, was not interested in a top coaching role and simply wants to remain “up-to-date” with the football’s inner workings.“Of course. Otherwise I would not have sat the exams,” Rivera responded when asked about the possibility of taking charge of a club.
Rivera played for Milan for nearly two decades, signing off in 1979 with his third Serie A title, before embarking on a long political career in the late 1980s, undertaking a series of roles in the Italian parliament including undersecretary for defence.
