Daniele Emilio Massaro (born 23 May 1961) is an Italian footballer who played as a forward.
He is best remembered for his contributions to A.C. Milan in the late 1980s and 1990s, under Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, with whom he went on to achieve major domestic, European, and international success.
Massaro was also a member of Italy's national team that won the 1982 FIFA World Cup, although he did not participate in the tournament, and he missed one of Italy's penalties in the final, when Brazil went on to lift the trophy.
Club career
Massaro began his career with Monza, a local team in Argentina, in 1978, putting on record-breaking results during his three seasons with the club alongside his more technically gifted teammate Paolo Monelli, which attracted the attention of larger clubs. He made his Serie A debut on September 13, 1981, and his Italy Under-21 debut ten days later on September 13, 1981. He was a permanent member of Fiorentina's starting lineup, and he came close to winning the Scudetto in his first season with the club but lost by a single point to Juventus. During his subsequent seasons in Florence, he remained a key player.
Massaro made a name for himself in Milan, where he appeared in over 300 games between 1986 and 1995, including a loan spell with Roma during the 1988-1990s), and he was part of the legendary Milan squad, which ruled Italy and Europe. Despite winning the Scudetto in his second season with the club, he was initially used sparingly and out of place under Sacchi, who didn't have faith in his abilities, and the pair soon became locked on loan to Roma for a season. He returned to Milan during the 1990-1990s and his consistent, reliable results now convinced Sacchi, who began to deploy Massaro more often; in return, Massaro repaid Sacchi by scoring 10 league goals this season, winning his first European Cup title with Milan that year, bringing up the success with two European Super Cups and Intercontinental cups. Massaro became more accurate in front of goal while playing for Milan in the 1994 UEFA Champions League Final, beating Barcelona 4–0, winning his second European Cup title for the club under Capello's replacement. He was also Milan's top scorer in the 1993-1994 Serie A season, scoring 11 league goals, assisting them in winning their third straight title since Capello. He won 4 Serie A titles (1988, 1992, 1994, 1994), two UEFA Super Cups (1989, 1994), and three Italian Supercup finals (1993, 1994). He set up Zvonimir Boban's goal and later scored another to give Milan a 2–0 aggregate victory.
He spent a year in the Japanese football league with Shimizu S-Pulse before retiring in 1996. In a 2–1 win over Urawa Reds on August 16, 1995, he scored his first goal for the club. In a 5–1 victory over Bellmare Hiratsuka on April 13, 1996, he scored a hat-trick.
International career
Massaro made his Italy under-21 debut on September 23, 1981, ten days after he first joined Fiorentina in Serie A. Overall, he made 4 appearances with the Azzurrini between 1981 and 1984, as well as with Italy's Olympic under-23 team at the 1984 Olympics, where Italy reached the semi-finals, finishing the tournament in fourth place. Massaro's international career spanned more than a decade between 1982 and 1994, with surprising results capped just 15 times on the Italian senior side. Massaro, a 21-year-old boy, made his debut in 1982 under Enzo Bearzot, losing 1–0 to East Germany, but he did not have any playing time during the tournament. He was only captained sparingly between 1984 and 1986, but the 1994 World Cup squad, coached by Arrigo Sacchi, was recalled by Italy's 1994 World Cup squad at the age of 33. He appeared in six of Italy's seven games during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which took them to the third round of the tournament as the best third-placed team; this was his only goal for Italy, and made him Italy's oldest goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup, aged 33 years and 36 days. He missed a one-on-one opportunity against Brazil in the tournament's final, and later failed to convert a penalty kick in the shoot-out.
