Career

Indonesia

Mattè was born in Italy. He was called to Indonesia to direct the Under-18, Under-21, and pre-Olympic selections in the 1990s[2] on a deal between Sampdoria and the Football Association of Indonesia,[3] Matte was in charge of the Garuda for the 1995 Southeast Asian Games, calling up youngsters such as Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto and Kurnia Sandy[4] who later went to Sampdoria through Matte.[2] Assisted by Danurwindo as well as Harry Tjong, the retiree was said to have been paid around 17 million Indonesian rupiahs each month.[5] Recalling his experience there, he admired the locals respect for him and their humility.[3]

Mali

Introduced as Mali Mali national team coach in summer 2000,[6] the Italian stated that football there used to be intertwined with superstition and that clubs had their own witch doctors,[7] appreciating the passion for the sport in the country as well.[3] However, his time there ended early[3] in 2001 and he watched Les Aigles get the better of South Africa 2–0 before going to Italy.[8]
