'''Luciano Chiarugi''' ({{IPA|it|luˈtʃaːno kjaˈruːdʒi}}; born 13 January 1947) is an Italian [[Association football|football]] manager and former player who played as a [[Forward (association football)|forward]].

==Club career==
[[File:Luciano Chiarugi 1969.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Chiarugi at Fiorentina in 1969]]

Born in [[Ponsacco]], [[Province of Pisa]], Chiarugi started his career with [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]], being part of the lineup that won the [[1968–69 Serie A]] title. After seven seasons with the ''viola'', Chiarugi moved to [[A.C. Milan]] in 1972, being instrumental to the ''rossoneri'' triumph in the [[1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup]], won thanks to a goal by him in the [[1973 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] match against [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], finishing the competition as top scorer.<ref name="Magliarossonera.it">{{cite web|url=http://www.magliarossonera.it/protagonisti/Gioc-Chiarugi.html|title=Luciano CHIARUGI|publisher=Magliarossonera.it|language=it|access-date=30 August 2016}}</ref><ref name="treccani">{{cite web|url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/luciano-chiarugi_(Enciclopedia-dello-Sport)/|title=CHIARUGI, Luciano|publisher=Treccani: Enciclopedia dello Sport (2002)|language=it|author1=Alberto Polverosi|access-date=30 August 2016}}</ref>

It was November 24, 1974 when Chiarugi surprised the Ascoli goalkeeper, in a league match. He scored for Milan the last Olympic goal until Christian Pulisic's attempt during Champions League game in October 2024 against Club Brugge.[https://www.milannews.it/esclusive-mn/esclusiva-mn-gol-olimpico-pulisic-50-anni-dopo-chiarugi-gesto-tecnico-che-non-si-tenta-quasi-piu-553827]

In 1976, he was sold to [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] in an exchange bid with [[Giorgio Braglia]],<ref name="Magliarossonera.it"/> with whom he shared the same nickname: ''Cavallo Pazzo'' ("Crazy" or "Mad Horse", in Italian).<ref name="repubblica">{{cite web|url=http://napoli.repubblica.it/sport/2017/02/20/news/napoli_i_70_anni_di_braglia_l_attaccante_che_fece_impazzire_il_san_paolo_per_la_sua_anarchia_tattica-158805534/|title=Napoli, i 70 anni di Braglia: l'attaccante che fece impazzire il San Paolo per la sua anarchia tattica|publisher=La Repubblica|language=it|author=Pasquale Tina|date=20 February 2017|access-date=24 February 2017}}</ref> He played two seasons with the ''azzurri'', winning a [[Coppa Italia]] and an [[Anglo-Italian Cup]]. He played for [[Serie B]] team [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] in 1978–79, and then back to Serie A with [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]] the following season. After spells with minor league teams [[Rimini Calcio F.C.|Rimini]], [[Rondinella Calcio|Rondinella]] and [[U.S. Massese 1919|Massese]], Chiarugi retired from football in 1986.

==International career==
Chiarugi also gained three caps for the [[Italy national football team]], making his debut on 22 November 1969 in a 3–0 win over [[East Germany national football team|East Germany]].<ref name="treccani"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://213.92.78.197/nazionali/DettaglioConvocato?codiceConvocato=320&squadra=NAZIONALI |language=it |title=CHIARUGI LUCIANO.

==Style of play==
[[File:Luciano Chiarugi - Milan 1972-73.jpg|thumb|Chiarugi in action with A.C. Milan at San Siro in 1972–1973 season]]

Known in Italian football for his impetuous nature, pace and technique, which gained him the nickname ''Cavallo Pazzo'' (Crazy Horse), Chiarugi was a quick, energetic, and highly creative [[Forward (association football)|forward]] with an eye for goal and excellent [[Dribbling#Association football|dribbling]] skills, known for his individualistic playing style, as well as his use of elaborate [[Dummy (football)|feints]] and [[Nutmeg (football)|nutmegs]] to beat opponents. He was also known for his accurate striking and [[Cross (football)|crossing]] ability, and was effective from set-pieces; this allowed him to play both as a [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]], or as a [[Midfielder#Winger|winger]] on either flank. However, despite his talent, he was also popularly considered as a [[Diving (association football)|diver]], causing the Italian media to create the [[Italian language|Italian]] [[neologism]] ''chiarugismo'', a synonym of "football diving", after his name.<ref name="Magliarossonera.it"/><ref name="treccani"/><ref name="storiedicalcio">{{cite web |url=https://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/luciano-chiarugi.html |title=CHIARUGI Luciano: Cavallo Pazzo |date=14 December 2015 |publisher=storiedicalcio.altervista.org |language=it |access-date=7 March 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/nato-oggi/luciano-chiarugi-un-i-cavallo-pazzo-i-vincente-con-la-fiorentina-1200644 |title=Luciano Chiarugi, un Cavallo Pazzo vincente con la Fiorentina |publisher=www.tuttomercatoweb.com |author1=Lorenzo Di Benedetto |language=it |date=13 January 2019 |access-date=8 March 2019 }}</ref>

==Coaching career==
After his retirement as a player in 1986, Chiarugi joined the [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] youth team coaching staff. In his career, he served as Fiorentina's [[Caretaker manager]] three times.<ref name="treccani"/> Late into the [[1992–93 Serie A|1992–93 season]], Chiarugi (jointly with [[Giancarlo Antognoni]]) replaced [[Aldo Agroppi]] with little fortune, as he did not manage to save them from relegation to Serie B after 54 consecutive seasons in the top flight.<ref name="treccani"/><ref name="acffiorentina_history">{{cite web|url=http://www.acffiorentina.it/it/infopage.aspx?Ctn=59973|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070630152631/http://www.acffiorentina.it/it/infopage.aspx?Ctn=59973|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-06-30|language=it|publisher=ACF Fiorentina|title=La Storia della Fiorentina|date=2006-01-23|access-date=2007-10-28}}</ref> In [[Serie A 2000-01|February 2001]], following the dismissal of [[Fatih Terim]], Chiarugi was installed as caretaker coach for a single match, a 2–1 loss to [[A.S. Bari|Bari]],<ref name="treccani"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/online/campionato_partite/barifioren/barifioren/barifioren.html|publisher=La Repubblica|title=Il Bari beffa la Fiorentina, il dopo Terim parte male|language=it|access-date=2007-10-28|date=2001-03-04}}</ref> before the appointment of [[Roberto Mancini]]. Following the departure of [[Ottavio Bianchi]], Chiarugi was appointed again as caretaker coach during the dramatic [[2001–02 Serie A|2001–02 season]], which ended with relegation to Serie B and the successive club cancellation due to financial troubles, which ultimately led to Fiorentina's bankruptcy.<ref name="treccani"/><ref name="acffiorentina_history" />

On 14 November 2007, he was announced as the new head coach of Tuscan [[Serie C2]] side [[U.S. Poggibonsi|Poggibonsi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/index.php?action=read&id=80338|publisher=TuttoMercatoWeb|title=UFFICIALE: il Poggibonsi sceglie Chiarugi|language=it|access-date=2007-11-15|date=2007-11-14}}</ref> He was sacked in September 2008 due to poor results.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://it.eurosport.yahoo.com/29092008/44/poggibonsi-esonerato-luciano-chiarugi.html|publisher=Yahoo!
