PROFILE: Nicknamed  “Spiderman”, Walter Zenga was born in Milan on April 28, 1960.  His soccer career as goalkeeper begins early at the age of ten, gaining experience in lower divisions of the Italian championship ( Macallese, Salernitana, Savona, Sambenedettese) until his “promotion” to the Inter team.  Full of enthusiasm, but quite humble at the same time, he cherishes his black-blue dream as second goalkeeper behind his idol Ivano Bordon.

During the season 1982-83 he makes his debut against Sampdoria.  Three years later he becomes part of the Italian national team, where he gets lots of satisfactions.  With Inter he wins the Serie A championship in 1988-89, the Supercoppa and UEFA Cup in ’90 (vs. Roma) and ’94 (vs. Saltzburg).

In 1994, Zenga transfers to Sampdoria, then to Padova two years later.  From there, he moves to the Major League Soccer with the New England Revolution, where he is goalkeeper in 1997 and coach the following year.  In 2002, he goes to Romania, where he first manages FC National Bucharest, then Steaua Bucharest in 2004-2005.

After winning the championship with the Steaua Bucharest,  Zenga becomes the coach of the FK Red Star of Belgrade and wins the League title and the Serbia and Montenegro Cup in 2005-2006.

After winning two consecutive championship, for this season Zenga has accepted the challenge of taking the Gaziantepspor, the team of a small Turkish city, to the qualifications of an European Cup.  Presently, the Gaziantepspor is in very good place, behind Fenerbache, Besiktas and Gaslatasary.
