† Appearances (goals)

Carlo Mattrel (14 April 1937 – 25 September 1976) was an Italian footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. During his career, he was regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in Italy, as well as a serious, hard-working, and disciplined player, who was capable of organising his defence well. Despite not being a particularly strong, acrobatic, or athletic keeper, he was known for his shot-stopping, positioning, and his ability to read the game, as well as his agility, despite his tall, slender frame.[1][2]

Career

Mattrel played with Juventus for most of his career, between 1955–65, aside from two brief loan spells with Anconitana and Palermo. With the Turin club, he won three Serie A titles during the 1957–58, 1959–60, and 1960–61 seasons, as well as three Coppa Italia tournaments in 1959, 1960, and 1965.[1][2] After his time with Juventus, he spent two seasons with Cagliari, and one final season with SPAL before retiring in 1968. Throughout his career, he made 158 appearances in Serie A, 27 in the Coppa Italia, 4 in the European Cup, and 1 in the Cup Winners' Cup.[1][2]

Mattrel was also part of the Italian squad in the 1962 FIFA World Cup, initially as a back-up for Lorenzo Buffon, but he went on to make his first and only appearance for the azzurri in the infamous second group match against hosts Chile, known also as the "Battle of Santiago", as Italy were defeated, and eliminated in the first round of the tournament.[1][2][3]

After retirement

After his playing career, Mattrel became a building contractor. He died in 1976, aged 39, in a road accident.[1][2]
