The former Roma and Brescia coach, among others, passed away yesterday at the age of 86. Many illustrious memories from the world of Italian football and beyond for 'Sor Carletto', who in Serie A made history by closing his illustrious career with 792 official matches, more than any other coach in history.
“You have trained the greatest – from Totti to Baggio, from Pirlo to Guardiola – and from the greatest you were loved and respected. Football mourns a true and genuine man. Ahò (as you said…), good second half Carletto Mazzone”, concludes Infantino, the day after the coach's death at the age of 86.
