Carolina Morace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carolina Morace (5 February 1964) is a football coach and former player for the women's Italian national team.
Born in Venice, Morace debuted for the Italian women's national team in 1978, against Yugoslavia, at the age of just 14. On her career, she played 153 matches for Italy, scoring 105 goals; whereas, on Italian national women's league, she scored more than 500 goals.
However, she is best known in Italy for having been the one and only woman to coach for a professional men's football team, Viterbese of Italian Serie C1 in 1999. She eventually resigned from her position after only two matches, because of heavy media pressures.
Until June 2005, she was head coach for the women's Italian national team. She now works as football pundit for Italian television channel La7.
