Giacomo Bulgarelli (24 October 1940 – 12 February 2009) was an Italian international footballer who played as a midfielder.

Playing career

Club

Bulgarelli was born in Portonovo di Medicina, province of Bologna.[1] His entire Italian club career was spent with Bologna, for whom he made 391 Serie A appearances between 1958–59 and 1974–75.[2] He won the title with the club in 1964, after they defeated Herrera's "Grande" Inter Milan in a play-off.[3] With 488 appearances in all competitions, he is Bologna's record all-time appearance holder.[4]

He finished his career with a brief spell in 1975 with the Hartford Bicentennials in the USA.[2]

International

Bulgarelli played for Italy at the 1960 Summer Olympics, and then made his debut for the Italian national team at the 1962 World Cup, on 7 June, scoring two goals in Italy's final group match against Switzerland, which were unable to prevent the team from being eliinated in the first round, however. He also played for Italy at the 1966 World Cup, and was a member of the Italy team that won the 1968 UEFA European Championship on home soil, although he did not appear throughout the tournament. He made a total of 29 appearances for the national side, scoring 7 times.[5][6]

After retirement

After his retirement from professional football, he worked as a sporting director, and he also had a successful career as a football commentator and pundit, working with RAI, Mediaset, and La Gazzetta dello Sport; he also partnered up with fellow pundit Massimo Caputi to provide the Italian commentary for the EA Sports FIFA video game series from 1998-2002.[7]

He died in February 2009, after a lengthy illness.[3]
