Born in Trieste on 20 May 1912, el Paron (il Padrone – as he was already nicknamed in the early years in Treviso) has marked part of the history of Italian football, especially in the years on the Milan bench where he is still the most successful coach of the Rossoneri history.

Together with the former Rossoneri captain, Cesare Maldini , he was the winning symbol of the triumphant Milan that managed to establish itself in Italy and especially in Europe, for what is still the Italian club with the most Champions Cups on the bulletin board.

For Paron the perfect team was made up of: “a goalkeeper who saves everything, a killer in defense, a genius in midfield, a mona who scores and seven donkeys that run”. This quote is just one of the many left by the great Nereo Rocco. Famous expressions (often in the dialect of Trieste) which, still today, are still widely used in the sports world, and beyond.
Long ball and pedal!
Mi te digo cossa far, (I can tell you what to do,
but after on the pitch you ghe va ti! But on the pitch then you go!)
May the best win.
Sperem de no!
In short, Rocco was a football philosopher and teacher but also a great lover of fatigue, he knew very well that without work and sweat no victory would come. A great man who has been able to put an indelible imprint in the years in which he played sports. A professional who, however, despite his success, has never abandoned his origins and his Trieste , for the one who called himself a provincial.
In fact, he too, from time to time, called himself mona (stupid in Trieste), but always for simplicity.
“I am the commander Nereo Rocco in Milan. In Trieste I am that mona de becher! “. At least there, in Trieste, a beaker (butcher, his father’s profession), was so until the end, until his last breath, the one that went on stage forty years ago . [/ Vc_column_text] [/ vc_column] [/ vc_row ]
