Rino Marchesi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈriːno marˈkeːzi]; born 11 June 1937) is a former Italian football midfielder and manager from San Giuliano Milanese.
After beginning his career with Fanfulla for a season in 1955, over the course of his playing career, Marchesi played for five Italian club sides, spending the most of his time with Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio, winning several titles. He ended his career after two seasons with Prato, in 1973.
While with Fiorentina, Marchesi appeared for the Italian national football team twice, making his international debut in a 4–1 victory over Argentina on 15 June 1961.
Following his retirement, Marchesi pursued a career as a manager, coaching several clubs, including Napoli (1980–82; 1983–85), Internazionale (1982–83), Como (1985–86; 1988–89) Juventus (1986–88), and Udinese (1989–91). During his managerial career, he had the opportunity to coach both Diego Maradona while with Napoli, and Michel Platini with Juventus, two of the greatest attacking midfielders of all time; however he also had the misfortune of replacing legendary Juventus coach Giovanni Trapattoni at the conclusion of one of the most successful periods in the club's history, failing to replicate similar success during his two seasons with the club.
