Maurizio Mosca (Rome, June 24, 1940 - Pavia, April 3, 2010) was an Italian sports journalist and TV presenter.
Son of the humorist, journalist and writer Giovanni Mosca, and brother of Antonello, Benedetto and the writer Paolo Mosca, Maurizio Mosca began working for the newspaper La Notte in Milan before moving to the Gazzetta dello Sport, which has been tested for twenty years as editor in chief and where he also served as the interim director for two years. In 1983, the Journal publishes an interview with the Brazilian Zico, world-famous soccer star: it's a scoop, because Zico has never granted any interviews with Italian newspapers; Mosca says that it has been possible thanks to the friendship that binds him to the footballer.
Some time after, Mosca was host to the Il Processo del Lunedì (The Process on Monday), the TV broadcast of Aldo Biscardi: Zico is also in the program. Biscardi asks to Zico how he became a friend of Maurizio Mosca, and the Brazilian responds: "I don't know this man". Maurizio Mosca's career ends with the Gazzetta dello Sport in that time. Mosca was forced to leave the newspaper and following Mosca claim to be the victim of a "plot" because he is considered "dangerous" by some characters of the national football system.
After appearing on TV as a commentator at the Domenica Sportiva (Sun Sports) since 1969, began working regularly in television in 1979, making his debut as host of a sports program of a regional TV channel in Milan. Since then he has participated in many televisions and radio, almost always on football, both regionally and nationally.
After his removal from the press, Mosca began to collaborate on the burgeoning private TV sports programs, eager to grab professionals. Obvious that Mosca, which had attended the main floors of the "Gazzetta", had more opportunities to get in light.
