[edit] Legacy

• The Italian expression Zona Cesarini (Cesarini Zone), still in use today (mostly in that country), was originated because of Renato Cesarini, who often scored decisive goals during the last minutes of the match (the best example being the Italy 3-2 Hungary match of 13 December 1931 at Stadio Filadelfia of Turin ^[4]).

• He has a football club and training academy in Argentina named in his honour, it was founded in 1978 by former members of the Argentina national team.^[5]
