After a brief career as an athlete with decent results in the middle distance, so much to dress for four times the jersey of the junior national team, Giorgio Rondelli, in the second half of the 1970s, became a coach for the same sector of one of the oldest Italian sports clubs, the Pro Patria Milano (today CUS Pro Patria Milan, after the merger with CUS Milano), a role that he still holds. In addition to a coaching career he is also a sports journalist from a long time. [2]
