Giuseppe Brizi (19 March 1942 – 9 June 2022)[4] was an Italian professional football player and manager who played as a defender.[5] In 2012, he was inducted into ACF Fiorentina Hall of Fame.[6]
Brizi debuted in professional football during the 1959–60 Serie C season, when he played as a midfielder for Maceratese.[5] In 1962, he was then bought by Fiorentina, where Ferruccio Valcareggi eventually decided to play him as a sweeper. In Florence, Brizi had his best spell of his career, making 389 appearances (becoming the player with the second highest number of appearances in the history of the club)[7] and contributing to winning, among others, one Scudetto and two Coppa Italia.[5]
He was part of the Italy national B team's's squad that won the 1963 Mediterranean Games.
Brizi was the manager of Maceratese for three non-consecutive tenures, where he won his Girone during the 1979–80 Serie D season,[8] Lanciano, Fermana, and Sangiustese.[9]
