Career
Tardelli was born at Capanne di Careggine, in the province of Lucca (Tuscany). He started his career in the Italian Serie C with the club of Pisa. Two years later he played in the Serie B with Como before joining Serie A giants Juventus in October 1975.
During his decade-long stint at the Turin club, he won all the three major European competitions: the UEFA Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and European Cup as well as five times the Italian Serie A championship and three Coppa Italia (Italian Cup).
He scored the decisive goal during the first leg of the UEFA Cup finale against Athletic Bilbao, allowing Juventus to gain this competition in 1977, his first and also the first European title for Juventus.
Tardelli played 376 games with Juventus and scored 51 goals.
His fierce nature on the pitch famously attracted the quote "He's responsible for more scar tissue than the surgeons at Harefield Hospital" from the Tottenham Hotspur and England centre forward Jimmy Greaves.[1]
National team
Tardelli made his international debut on 7 April 1976 against Portugal. He played at the 1978 World Cup and the 1980 European Football Championship. He performed especially well during Italy's 1982 World Cup-winning campaign, scoring twice. His first came in a group stage match against Argentina and the second in the final against West Germany. He is particularly remembered for his famous goal celebration in the final. With tears in his eyes, he sprinted towards the Italian bench, fists clenched in front of his chest, screaming "Goal! Goal!" as he shook his head wildly. This celebration would become known as the "Tardelli cry".
He won a total of 81 caps for Italy, playing his final game for them against Norway in September 1985. He retired as a player in 1988.
Coaching career
Tardelli started his managing career as head coach of the Under 16 Italian national team in 1988, immediately after his retirement. Two years later, he became the assistant coach of Cesare Maldini for the Under 21 team. In 1993 he switched to Como of Serie C1. He led Como to promotion into Serie B, but was unable to avoid relegation.

In 1995 he took over Cesena, another Serie B team. Tardelli would spend three seasons with Cesena before leaving to become head coach of the Italian Under 21 team. He would win the Under 21 European Championship,[1] the following year. His success with the Italian Under 21 side, led Tardelli to became the manager of Internazionale for the 2000–01 season. His tenure with the Nerazzurri would be short, following a string of embarrassing defeats especially a 6–0 defeat to local rivals AC Milan, Tardelli was fired in June 2001. Tardelli did not have much luck in the coaching jobs that followed, which included spells with Bari, the Egyptian national team and Arezzo.
Tardelli served for a short time as part of the administrative council of his old club Juventus in 2006, before resigning in 2007.[2] In February 2008, he joined the staff of Giovanni Trapattoni with the Republic of Ireland national football team. Tardelli has acted as Trapattoni's assistant in a move that sees him reunited with former Juventus team-mate Liam Brady, who was also named as Trapattoni's assistant.
