April 21, 1999 – Revolution name Giuseppe Galderisi assistant coach

Beppe Galderisi might have been the Sebastian Giovinco of his era, but by the time he arrived to play for the New England Revolution, his career was nearly over. Galderisi won Serie A titles with Juventus and Verona, but on the international stage, he had a tough act to follow – Paolo Rossi – with defending champion Italy in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. By the 1990s, Galderisi was playing alongside Alexi Lalas at Padova, before both joined the Revolution for MLS’ inaugural season in 1996.

Galderisi was a teammate of the late Ray Wilkins with Milan, Wilkins recommending him to the Revolution. Galderisi, who has gone on to manage several Italian clubs, plus Olhanense in Portugal, assisted Walter Zenga, now coaching Crotone.
