Italo Allodi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Italo Allodi (born April 13, 1928 in Asagio, Italy - died June 3, 1999) was a notorious Italian association football manager who was implicated, but never found guilty, in many attempts to fix matches. [1]
Notable events in which he was accused of match fixing include:
- Bribing, or attempting to bribe, the referees in the 1964, 1965 and 1966 European Cup [1]
- Bribing the Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst during the final of the 1968 European Championship, leading the referee to ignore a foul by the Italians on the Yugoslavian team. Italy drew the match 1-1, and won the replay 2-0 [2]
Allodi was born the son of a railwayman. He served in an official position for various Italian football clubs, including Mantua, Inter Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina and Napoli. Allodi had a wife, Franca, as well as a son, Cristiano [1]. Allodi was also responsible for recruiting Luciano Moggi as his protege [3].
