Cesare Butti (born 5 May 1951) is an Italian former professional footballer and manager who played as a midfielder.

A midfielder, Butti played four seasons with Perugia, being a regular starter for the Perugia dei miracoli squad that finished the 1978–79 Serie A season unbeaten as runners-up.^[1]^[2]

Playing career

Early career, Cagliari and Torino

Born in Ghiffa, Butti began his youth and early senior career with hometown club Verbania in Serie C. After a successful season in Serie B with Bari in 1972–73, he was signed by Serie A side Cagliari.

In the summer of 1976, he joined defending Serie A champions Torino. Reunited with manager Luigi Radice (who had previously coached him at Cagliari), Butti became a key tactical option for the Granata, deployed effectively across both midfield and defensive roles to support Claudio Sala and Eraldo Pecci.

Perugia's "Miracle Team"

In 1978, Butti transferred to Perugia. Under manager Ilario Castagner, he immediately established himself as a regular starter in the midfield.

During the historic 1978–79 Serie A campaign, Butti featured regularly as Perugia finished second behind Milan without suffering a single defeat (11 wins, 19 draws), becoming the first club in modern Italian football history to complete an entire Serie A season undefeated.

He spent four seasons with the Umbrian side, amassing 114 league appearances before moving to Ivrea in 1982 and eventually returning to Verbania to close his playing career. Over his career, Butti made 161 appearances and scored 3 goals in Serie A, alongside 66 appearances and 1 goal in Serie B.

Managerial career

Following his retirement as a player, Butti went into coaching. He led Verbania to promotion from the regional Promozione in 1987, before managing Serie C2 side Varese during the 1988–89 season and Swiss club Chiasso in 1989–90.
