INFO:

Magnini played in the beginning as the wing half, than right back and centre half when the original stopper Rosetta was moving on the left back position to cover Cervato's offensive moves. Magnini was very strong, iron defender, athletic, great acrobatic abilities with many spectacular clearings from the goal line, good jump and mobility, excellent tackler and men marker, solid shot from distance and even decent ball control. Magnini grew up in the youth team at Pistoia, debuting in the first team during the 1947-48 season in Serie B. Gets the starting spot for two consecutive seasons, scoring a total of 13 goals for moving to the midfield role. In the summer of 1950 was bought by Fiorentina, whose team debuted in Serie A, January 21, 1951 during a home game won 2-0 by the purple against Naples on June 17 of that year he signed his first goal in the top purple, against Udinese. Tested in midfield for the inconvenience, Magnini is back to defend from the beginning of the season 1952-53. The move worked well, enough to bring the player in the National Pistoia onset, which occurred April 26, 1953 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and against the regular meeting for the following matches, leaving staff to guess the intention to bring in the blue Switzerland for the World Cup in 1954. After winning the championship in 1956 he played another two seasons in Florence before going to Genoa and finished his career at Prato in Serie B. He also made two appearances at the 1954 World Cup. Pin for Fiorentina's first Scudetto (1955-56), with purple reaches 225 appearances in Serie A before being traded in 1958, in Genoa. He ended his career in 1960/61 in Prato.


Quote:
Grande atleta. Un fisico possente e le grandi doti acrobatiche completavano un giocatore tecnicamente di alto livello che calciava indifferentemente di destro e sinistro. Venne chiamato a Firenze per completare il blocco difensivo. Il blocco nasceva in una difesa sistemista (le tre punte della W erano i due terzini ed il centromediano), ed a Magnini, oltre al presidio della zona destra, erano affidati i recuperi e gli interventi volanti. E’ rimasto nella storia del calcio degli anni ’50 un suo intervento in acrobazia che colpì al viso, involontariamente, l’attaccante milanista Frignani causandogli la perdita di alcuni denti Il suo modo di marcare l’avversario consisteva nel stare largo sull’attaccante per poi entrargli in anticipo, spesso in acrobazia, quando veniva cercato con lanci o con tagli. Insuperabile quando si trovava di fronte attaccanti di stazza, soffriva invece i “piccoletti” che giocavano sullo scatto, pallone al piede. Magnini era inesauribile nella corsa e metteva in campo una grandissima carica agonistica con cui si faceva rispettare sia quando stava bene che quando, infortunato, si piazzava, come era uso all’epoca non potendo effettuare sostituzioni, all’ala sinistra – ed in un’occasione contro la Roma nel ’57 riuscì anche segnare nonostante un problema muscolare all’inguine.
