The President of Borgorosso Football Club

The President of Borgorosso Football Club (Italian: Il presidente del Borgorosso Football Club) is a 1970 Italian sports comedy film directed by Luigi Filippo D'Amico and starring Alberto Sordi, Tina Lattanzi and Margarita Lozano.

However, after selling several top players provokes a riot in the town, he has a damascene conversion and begins to plough huge amounts of money in the club and hires a supposedly brilliant Peruvian coach.

When he proves to be inept and the club loses several games at the start of the new season, Fornaciari himself takes over control of the team from the bench.

The ensuing trouble, including a fine and a points deduction, leads a rival consortium to try and oust Fornaciari as president.

Examples of this include the fraud Italian-Peruvian manager, who puts on a fake South American accent to fool the president, and the overwhelming presence of the Catholic Church, represented by the priest who rushes the weekly mass to make sure he can attend the match.
