Angelo Recchi (born 27 March 1951) is a retired Italian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[2]
Career
[edit]Playing career
[edit]Recchi made his debut at Tevere Roma in 1968.[3] The following year he moved to Mantova, where he contributed to the club's Serie B championship title in 1970–71 and promotion to Serie A, making 11 appearances in the top flight.[3] He remained at the club for a further three seasons before moving on.[3]
In 1975 he joined Ascoli, making two further Serie A appearances.[3] He then spent two seasons at Rimini and one at Pescara before joining Cesena in 1979.[3]
At Cesena, Recchi was the first-choice goalkeeper in the side that finished level on 48 points with Genoa behind champions Milan (50 points) in the 1980–81 Serie B season, winning promotion to Serie A.[4] He went on to make 131 consecutive league appearances for the club,[4] including Cesena's first season back in the top flight in 1981–82, when the club achieved survival in Serie A.[4]
He was subsequently signed by Internazionale, who chose him as backup to the young Walter Zenga, who became Inter's first-choice goalkeeper from the 1983–84 season onward.[5] In his two seasons at Inter, Recchi made one Serie A appearance in the first and five in the second, along with two UEFA Cup appearances and one in the Coppa Italia.[1][3]
He ended his career in Serie C1 with Ancona, where he played from 1985 to 1987.[3] In total, he made 74 appearances in Serie A.[3]
With the exception of his two appearances for Ascoli — in which he conceded 6 goals — Recchi maintained a goals-conceded average of under one per game throughout the rest of his career.[3]
After retirement
[edit]A qualified medical doctor, Recchi also worked as a goalkeeping coach at the amateur sports club Candia Baraccola Aspio in Ancona, where he also coached youth teams.[2]
