He served as a player in Grasshopers (Switzerland) in 1905/06, he returned to Turin and contributed to the founding of our Military team for five years, until the withdrawal of racing in 1911 (I do not find traces of league games played by league win).

Pozzo had convened Guaita, mountains, Bear De Maria, who were "Oriundi" and received much criticism because the World Cup would have to play just born and resident in Italy (according to some pundits of the time ..), to which the coach replied firmly: "These kids pay regular military service in the army and if they can die for Italy, can also play soccer in Italy. " In 1936 at the Berlin Olympics, Vittorio Pozzo is at the helm of our National Amateur and the door to the only Olympic victory in the history of our football.

In quattro anni Vittorio Pozzo portò l’Italia alla vittoria di Titoli Mondiali e di un’Olimpiade (record tutt’ora ineguagliato). Il 5 agosto 1948 su pressione della Federcalcio, Vittorio Pozzo diede le dimissioni da Commissario Tecnico. Al momento del ritiro, Pozzo era stato C.T. della Nazionale per 6.927 giorni: altro primato difficilmente eguagliabile. Aveva diretto la nazionale per 97 volte, con un totale di 65 vittorie, 17 draws and 15 defeats. Winning Percentage 65.97% of games played, another record between CT "BLUE". His last act (say, by CT) was at Superga May 4, 1949, for the recognition of bodies torn apart, his friends and students of the Grande Torino. Vittorio Pozzo died in Turin 21 December 1968 at the age of 82 years. His remains are buried in the cemetery weighting (BI), his country of origin. In 1990 the "Big Torino ... after refusing to name the new stadium at the Grand Torino (absurd !!!!), refused the name of WELL ... appointing the mess "Delle Alpi". Perhaps because the name was inextricably linked to the WELL TORINO CALCIO.
