Giuseppe Carlo Ferrari

Giuseppe Carlo Ferrari (born 30 October 1910 in Modena; died 29 January 1987 in Altagracia de Orituco, Venezuela) was an Italian footballer and coach.

Playing career

Starting his career at hometown club Modena, Ferrari made his Serie A debut on 7 December 1930 in a 4–1 victory over Legnano. In 1931, he moved to Catanzaro, achieving ninth place in Girone F of the 1931–32 Prima Divisione, before securing a move to giants Genoa, where he won the 1936–37 Coppa Italia without a missing a match. He spent the following season at Atalanta, where he did not make an appearance, leading to a move to Cremonese, who finished the 1938–39 edition of Serie C's Girone B in second place. Having been signed by Lazio but never taking to the field of play due to a severe knee injury, Ferrari returned to Modena in 1939, but relegation followed. In 1940, Ferrari was signed by Parma, where he would spend three seasons as a player in the most prolific goalscoring form of his career.

Coaching career

Still at Parma, Ferrari went on to become a member of the coaching staff, being appointed head coach of the team for the 1945-46 season. In the 1950s, some years after the end of his playing career, Ferrari emigrated to Venezuela, where he continued his involvement with football as a coach. He resided in Venezuela until his death.
