San Marino Calcio SS

Players and managers

In January 2006 the Sammarinese Football Association named Massimo Bonini as their greatest ever player.^[2] The only Sammarinese player to have played in a European Cup final, Bonini represented Italy at under-21 level in the early 1980s, and he played for Juventus from 1981 to 1988, but was prevented from gaining full honours due to a rule change.^[2] By the time San Marino became a full UEFA member, Bonini was in his thirties, but gained 19 caps between 1990 and 1995.

After retiring from playing, Bonini became San Marino's coach,^[2] succeeding Giorgio Leoni. He held the position until 1998, when he was replaced by Giampaolo Mazza. As of 2007, Mazza is the longest-serving manager of any European national team.^[15]

The appearance record for San Marino is held by Mirco Gennari, who gained 48 caps between 1992 and 2003.^[16] Andy Selva is the record goalscorer with eight.
