Walter Zenga
Biography

Walter Zenga is considered one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of Italian football. He kept goal for Inter for twelve years (1982–1994), making 328 league appearances and winning a Serie A title, two UEFA Cups and three Italian Super Cups. He made 58 appearances for Italy, playing at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Euro 1988 and the 1990 World Cup, where Italy finished third. At that same 1990 World Cup he went 517 consecutive minutes without conceding, an all-time tournament record. For three consecutive years (1989, 1990, 1991) he was named the world's best goalkeeper by the IFFHS. After retiring, he coached clubs in Romania, Serbia and Italy.
