Playing career

Making his professional debut in 1949, Brighenti played for Modena, Internazionale, Triestina, Padova, Sampdoria and Torino, winning two consecutive Serie A titles with Inter in 1953 and 1954. Brighenti scored a total of 155 goals in 363 career league games. He was also top-scorer in Serie A once throughout his career, during the 1960–61 season, scoring 27 goals.[1][2][3]

Brighenti also earned nine caps for Italy between 1959 and 1961, scoring two goals.[2]

Style of play

Brighenti was a quick, hardworking, and dynamic centre-forward, with good technical ability, and a powerful, accurate shot, who was known for his team–play as well as his eye for goal; as such, his role was more akin to that of a "centravanti di manovra," in Italian football jargon (literally translating to "manoeuvring centre-forward"), which was similar to that of a second striker, and a precursor to the modern false 9 role.[1]

Coaching career

Brighenti retired as a player in 1965, and began his first football management job with Varese in 1968. Brighenti was manager at Varese twice, and also managed Seregno and Lecco.[2]

Personal life and death

Sergio Brighenti was born in Modena on 23 September 1932. His older brother was fellow player Renato Brighenti.[2]

Brighenti died on 10 October 2022, at the age of 90.[4]
