Maurizio Ganz (born 13 October 1968) is an Italian professional football coach and former player.
[1] In the summer of 1992, he transferred to Atalanta, making his Serie A debut with the club and scoring 14 goals during his first season in the top division.
The following season, he helped Inter to reach the final of the 1996–97 UEFA Cup, only to lose on penalties; he finished the tournament as the top goalscorer with eight goals.
Ganz did not find much space in the squad that season, and spent a lot of his time on the bench, as Alberto Zaccheroni, the Milan manager at that time, had several other star offensive players, such as Oliver Bierhoff, George Weah, Andriy Shevchenko, Leonardo, and Zvonimir Boban.
[11] He moved to Modena for the 2004–05 Serie B season, and later spent a single Lugano in the Swiss Challenge League, scoring 11 goals.
[13][14] He played one game and scored a hat-trick for Padania, an unofficial national team that competes in the Viva World Cup.
[20] He left Taverne after one year to return to AC Milan as the head coach of their women's team.
