Biography

Bruno Gerzeli (October 3, 1925 – November 8, 1982) was an Italian professional football player.

Career

Born in Monfalcone, Gerzeli, a winger, inside forward and centre-forward, started his career in the Serie C side C.R.D.A. Monfalcone, which was the team of his hometown Monfalcone. After World War II, Gerzeli played the 1945-46 Serie C season for Monfalconese (which was the new name of C.R.D.A. Monfalcone); he was then signed by Venezia, a team which was competing in the Serie A. Gerzeli only played one match during the 1946–47 Serie A season, on July 6, 1947 against Triestina. After this one-match experience, he left Venezia and moved to Marzotto Valdagno, coming back to Serie C. He played a Serie B championship in 1948-1949 with Salernitana. In 1952 he decided to leave Italy for Colombia, a nation in which professional football was well-paid because of the so-called El Dorado period. He played for Deportivo Samarios in Colombia along with two other Italian footballers, Corrado Contin and Alessandro Adam. He collected 20 appearances with Samarios, scoring five goals (the first of which was scored against Atlético Nacional on June 1, 1952).

Personal

After he retired from playing, Gerzeli emigrated to Canada in 1954. He married and moved to the United States where he coached the Brigham Young University soccer program.

Gerzeli died in Salt Lake City on November 8, 1982 due to hepatitis of the liver.
