Alessandro ("Sandro") Mazzola (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsandro matˈtsɔːla]; born 8 November 1942) is an Italian former professional footballer, who played as a forward or attacking midfielder. He currently works a football analyst and commentator on the Italian National television station RAI.
Sandro Mazzola played for the highly successful Internazionale team remembered by the name of "La Grande Inter", during the 60s, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest Italian football players of all time, and as one of the best players of his generation, placing 2nd in the 1971 Ballon d'Or. With the entire career of seventeen seasons played only for Internazionale, he holds the honor of being a one-club man, winning four Serie A titles (1963, 1965, 1966 and 1971), two European Cups (1964 and 1965) and two Intercontinental Cups (1964 and 1965), also winning the Serie A top-scorer award during the 1964–65 season, and reaching the Coppa Italia final during the 1964–65 season, narrowly missing out on a treble with the club in 1965. With the Italian national side, Mazzola won the European Championship in 1968 and reached the final of the 1970 FIFA World Cup.
