His goal celebration in the 1982 final – where he ran away shaking his fists, tears pouring down his face, screaming "Gol!

[4][5][6][7] In 2004, Tardelli was named 37th in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll; he was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

[1] With Juventus, he also won five Italian Serie A championships, and two Coppa Italia titles, as well as the 1984 European Super Cup.

[6][7] He scored the decisive goal during the first leg of the 1977 UEFA Cup final against Athletic Bilbao, which allowed him and Juventus to win their first ever European title.

[6][7] He left the Turin club in 1985, moving on to rivals Internazionale, where he remained until 1987, before ending his career in 1988, after a season with Swiss side St.

His first came in a second-round group stage win against Argentina, and his memorable second goal of the tournament was scored in the final against West Germany, with a left footed strike from outside the area.

With tears in his eyes, he ran towards the Italian bench, fists clenched in front of his chest, screaming "Gol!

This celebration has been called the "Tardelli cry", and was considered one of the defining images of Italy's 1982 World Cup triumph;[6][7][9] Tardelli later reflected: "After I scored, my whole life passed before me – the same feeling they say you have when you are about to die, the joy of scoring in a World Cup final was immense, something I dreamed about as a kid, and my celebration was a release after realising that dream.

[7][18] Due to his great pace and slender build, Tardelli's Juventus teammate Luciano Spinosi gave him the nickname Schizzo.

He won the Under 21 European Championship,[24] the following year, and also coached the Italian side which took part at the 2000 Summer Olympics, reaching the quarter-finals.

[25] In February 2008, he joined the coaching staff of the Republic of Ireland national team as an assistant manager to the recently appointed Giovanni Trapattoni.

Tardelli parted ways with the Republic of Ireland national team on 11 September 2013 by mutual consent, after a defeat by Austria the previous day.

[30] Tardelli has two children: a daughter, Sara (a journalist), from his first marriage,[31] and a son Nicola (a model), from his relationship with reporter Stella Pende.
