Massimo Piloni (born 21 August 1948 in Ancona) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player, who played as a goalkeeper.

[1][2] That season, he made 7 appearances due to his promising performances, even featuring in the semifinal of the 1971 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, in a 1–1 away draw against Köln on 14 April.

[3] Although it seemed he had overtaken Tancredi, also earning the nickname "Big Pilon",[4] his performances in the first leg of the final against Leeds United, a 2–2 draw, were unconvincing.

However, he was mainly the understudy to legendary goalkeeper Dino Zoff, only making an appearance in the Coppa Italia against Cesena on 6 February 1974 during their time at the club together.

[8] Following an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport in December 2015, in which he expressed his financial difficulties due to unemployment after having been "abandoned" by the world of football, he was hired by Eccellenza Romana side Atletico Vescovio later that month, as the club's goalkeeping coach.
