[edit] Career
[edit] Player career
Bergodi started to play in the country's first division (Serie A) in 1984, for Pescara Calcio. He most notably played for Lazio, where he spent seven seasons in the top flight, and retired in 2000 after a brief stint at Maltese club Sliema Wanderers.
[edit] Coach career
After he retired, Bergodi started working as a coach. After a couple of minor league experiences in Italy, he moved into Romanian football, initially with National Bucharest, before achieving his first major successes as Rapid Bucharest manager, winning the Romanian Supercup on 27 July 2007. He also coached Liga 1 team CFR Cluj during the 2006–2007 season, achieving a place in UEFA Cup.
On 6 October 2007, shortly after Rapid were eliminated from the UEFA Cup in first round, Bergodi resigned, declaring Rapid was "a club of amateurs".[1]
In January 2009, after a break, he signed a half year contract with an extension for another 2 years with Liga I club FC Politehnica Iaşi.[2]
In June 2009, after his short stint with Politehnica Iaşi he was appointed Steaua's new manager. He replaces Marius Lăcătuş, Bergodi works in Romania since 2005 . On 18 September 2009, Bergodi was sacked by Gigi Becali for not allowing him to join the team in the locker at the half-time of the match between Steaua Bucureşti against Sheriff (0–0). Becali's decision attracted extremely negative critics from Steaua fans. .[3]
On July 2010 he was presented as new head coach of Italian Serie B club Modena.[4] On November 14, 2011 he was sacked.[5]
