Guido Masetti (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡwiːdo maˈzetti]; 22 November 1907 – 26 November 1993) was an Italian football goalkeeper and manager.

Club career

Born in Verona, Masetti played for Hellas Verona, and A.S. Roma from 1929 to 1943, appearing in 339 matches, winning an Italian title in the 1941–42 season.[1]

International career

Masetti was considered in the 1930s and 1940s to be one of the strongest goalkeepers, but as a member for the Italy national team he was merely used as a stand-in for Gianpiero Combi and Aldo Olivieri. The team won the World Cups of 1934 and 1938 without Masetti playing in any of the matches.

Managerial career

In 1950s, he was manager of A.S. Roma for ten games (5 in season 1950–51, and another 5 in season 1956–57).

He died at age 86 in Rome.
