Romano Mattè (born 17 January 1939) is an Italian football educator who led the Mali national team from 2000 to 2001. Besides Italy, he managed in Indonesia and Mali.[1]
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]
