Vincenzo "Enzo" Daniele Scifo ({{IPA|it|ˈɛntso ʃˈʃiːfo}}; born 19 February 1966){{cite web|url=http://www.us.terra.com/shared/worldcup2006/eng/grandes/6742.html|title=World Cup History > Best Players of All Times > Belgium > Enzo Scifo|publisher=us.terra.com|access-date=14 October 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222050035/http://www.us.terra.com/shared/worldcup2006/eng/grandes/6742.html|archive-date=22 February 2012}} is a retired Belgian football midfielder. He has also managed the Belgium national under-21 football team and several Belgian club sides. He played for clubs in Belgium, France and Italy, where he won several domestic titles. At international level, he was a member of the Belgium national team, for which he appeared in four FIFA World Cups, being one of three Belgian players ever to do so.

Early life

Scifo was born in La Louvière, Wallonia, to Italian parents from Sicily.{{cite news|author=Emanuela Audisio|url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1987/04/23/italiano-per-forza.html|title=Italiano per forza|editor=repubblica.it|date=23 April 1987|access-date=26 January 2017}}{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=44619/profile.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151009162810/http://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=44619/profile.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 October 2015|title=Scifo, a Red Devil with divine gifts|work=FIFA|access-date=8 November 2013}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/players/player=44619/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222153341/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/players/player=44619/|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 February 2014|title=Enzo SCIFO|publisher=FIFA|access-date=8 November 2013}} He proved himself a highly promising talent in youth football and was nicknamed "Little Pelé" at his local team, where he scored 432 goals in only four seasons as a junior. Scifo joined his local club R.A.A. Louviéroise as a seven-year-old in 1973. He transferred to what used to be Belgium's most successful club, R.S.C. Anderlecht, in 1982.

Club career

Scifo made his first team debut with R.S.C. Anderlecht in 1983, at the age of 17. After winning three Belgian First Division championships with the club, and helping the team to the 1984 UEFA Cup Final, only to lose out to Tottenham on penalties, Scifo earned a reputation as one of the most promising young stars of his generation, and moved to his ancestral country for Internazionale in 1987 for a fee of 7.5 billion Lire. At the time, this was the record amount for a football transfer.{{Cite web |date=19 November 2024 |title=From Maradona to Cristiano and Neymar: Each Player Challenging the Transfer Record |url=https://www.footboom1.com/en/news/football/2080136-from-maradona-to-cristiano-and-neymar-each-player-challenging-the-transfer-record |website=footboom1.com |language=en}} After an unsuccessful spell in Inter Milan, which saw him manage only four league goals in 28 appearances, he moved to French club Bordeaux in 1988 where he again disappointed, and faced injuries and conflict with senior squad members.{{Cite web |url=http://www.marc-werner.com/soccer/soccer4.pdf |title=EXKLUSIV Interview mit Enzo Scifo |access-date=7 June 2009 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303191623/http://www.marc-werner.com/soccer/soccer4.pdf |url-status=dead }} His career was revived by a successful move to Auxerre in 1989, at the age of 23, under manager Guy Roux, which led to a return to Italy with Torino in 1991;{{cite web|url=http://www.mydict.com/Wort/Enzo/Page/3/|title=Enzo – hat folgende Bedeutung|author=MyDict Team|access-date=14 October 2015}} his second spell in Serie A was more successful, as he reached the 1992 UEFA Cup Final in his first season with Torino, and won the Coppa Italia the following season. Scifo then moved to AS Monaco in 1993, where he enjoyed a similar level of success and won the French championship in 1997. He returned to Anderlecht later that year and won his fourth Belgian league title in the 1999–2000 season.{{cite web|url=http://betting.betfair.com/international-football/obscure-betting/the-obscure-betting-column-enzo-scifos-mouscron-an-241008.html|title=International Football Betting Tips – Bet £10 Get £30 with Betfair|access-date=14 October 2015|archive-date=8 July 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708042557/http://betting.betfair.com/international-football/obscure-betting/the-obscure-betting-column-enzo-scifos-mouscron-an-241008.html|url-status=dead}} He joined Charleroi in 2000, but retired later in the same season, at the age of 36, after being diagnosed with chronic arthritis.{{cite web|url=http://www.wiwo.de/unternehmer-maerkte/der-bdquo-rote-teufel-ldquo-tanzte-viermal-auf-der-wm-buehne-121743/|title=WM-Rekordspieler, Platz 19: Enzo Scifo: Der "rote Teufel" tanzte viermal auf der WM-Bühne|access-date=14 October 2015}} In total, Scifo scored 121 league goals in 478 official matches.

International career

Scifo made his senior international debut on 6 June 1984 for Belgium, in a 2–2 friendly draw against Hungary.{{cite web|url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/vincenzo-scifo_(Enciclopedia-dello-Sport)/|title=SCIFO, Vincenzo (Enzo)|work=Treccani: Enciclopedia dello Sport|date=2002|language=it|access-date=3 January 2017}} In Belgium's opening group match of UEFA Euro 1984, on 13 June, he attracted much publicity when he helped his team to a 2–0 victory over Yugoslavia; at the age of 18 years and 115 days, he was the youngest player ever to appear in the finals at the time.{{cite web|url=http://www.planetworldcup.com/LEGENDS/scifo.html|title=Planet World Cup – Legends – Enzo Scifo|access-date=14 October 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7b2ea5178a-1c450cf59b63-1000--scifo-helps-belgium-to-overcome-yugoslavia-in-euro-1984-gr/|title=Scifo helps Belgium to overcome Yugoslavia|publisher=UEFA|date=4 October 2003|access-date=3 January 2017}} Scifo featured in all three of Belgium's group matches in the tournament, as they placed third in their group and suffered a first round elimination.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7e16233fd7-0b794fdbc7b7-1000--teenager-willems-breaks-scifo-s-record/|title=Teenager Willems breaks Scifo's record|publisher=UEFA|date=9 June 2012|access-date=3 January 2017}}

He appeared for Belgium in the 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups, playing sixteen games in total;[http://www.world-football-legends.co.uk/scifo.php World Football Legends | Players | Enzo Scifo] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080625004331/http://www.world-football-legends.co.uk/scifo.php |date=25 June 2008 }} he is one of only 14 players to have participated in four World Cups, and one of only three Belgian players ever to do so. Scifo helped his nation to the semi-finals of the 1986 edition of the tournament in Mexico, playing in all seven of his team's matches and scoring two goals as Belgium finished the tournament in fourth place; he was named the best young player of the tournament for his performances throughout the competition. In the 1990 edition of the tournament, held in Italy, Scifo scored a notable goal from long range in Belgium's 3-1 first round victory over Uruguay, on 17 June, held in Verona; the goal was later elected as the tenth greatest FIFA World Cup goal of the Century in a 2002 poll, with 2,935 votes.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/news/y=2002/m=5/news=diego-maradona-goal-voted-the-fifa-world-cup-153-goal-the-century-82406.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912131216/http://www.fifa.com/news/y=2002/m=5/news=diego-maradona-goal-voted-the-fifa-world-cup-153-goal-the-century-82406.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 September 2015|title=Diego Maradona goal voted the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Century|publisher=FIFA|date=30 May 2002|access-date=3 January 2017}} Belgium were eventually eliminated in the second round against England; four years later, at U.S.A. '94, the Belgian side were once again eliminated in the second round. Scifo retired from international football after Belgium's first round elimination in the 1998 World Cup held in France; in total he gained eighty-four international caps and scored eighteen goals.{{cite web|url=http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,35351,00.html|title=Ausland: Fußball-Star Enzo Scifo außer Lebensgefahr|author=((SPIEGEL ONLINE, Hamburg, Germany))|date=16 August 1999|work=SPIEGEL ONLINE|access-date=14 October 2015}}

Style of play

A highly creative midfielder with an eye for goal, Scifo was a classic number 10 playmaker who usually played as an attacking midfielder behind the strikers; he was also capable of playing as a central midfielder, where he functioned as a deep-lying playmaker, or as a wide midfielder along the right flank. Considered one of Belgium's greatest ever players,{{cite web |title=10 Best Belgian Soccer Players of All Time |url=https://soccermavericks.com/best-belgian-soccer-players-of-all-time/ |website=Soccer Mavericks |access-date=2 January 2024 |archive-date=2 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240102084648/https://soccermavericks.com/best-belgian-soccer-players-of-all-time/ |url-status=dead }} his primary traits as a footballer were his excellent vision, tactical intelligence, and technical skills, which allowed him to orchestrate his team's attacking moves from midfield; he was also highly regarded for his balance on the ball, and his ability to dribble with his head up, as well as his accurate shooting and passing ability with his right foot, which enabled him both to score goals or create chances for his teammates. However, despite his talent, he was also criticised by his managers at times for his poor defensive work-rate off the ball, his introverted character, and for being selfish and inefficient at times, in particular in his youth, as he attempted too many individual dribbling runs, rather than looking to provide a simpler pass to an open teammate. Throughout his career, his unique playing style drew comparisons with Gianni Rivera, Giancarlo Antognoni, and his idol Michel Platini.{{cite web|url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1987/04/23/italiano-per-forza.html|title=ITALIANO PER FORZA|work=La Repubblica|language=it|author1=EMANUELA AUDISIO|date=23 April 1987|access-date=3 January 2016}}

After retirement

Scifo tried his hand at coaching with R. Charleroi S.C., joining them for the 2000–01 season. Indifferent results led to his resignation in June 2002. He later coached Tubize between 2004 and 2006, and later became head trainer of R.E. Mouscron, another Belgian League team, in 2007. On 6 June 2009, Scifo quit Mouscron due to the club's difficult financial situation.[http://www.rtbf.be/sport/football/division-1/enzo-scifo-decide-de-jeter-leponge-40620 Enzo Scifo décide de jeter l'éponge] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090611154401/http://www.rtbf.be/sport/football/division-1/enzo-scifo-decide-de-jeter-leponge-40620 |date=11 June 2009 }}

In May 2006, he was part of the historic first European Selection, led by former England manager Terry Venables and Josep Mª Fusté which had its début in Eindhoven in the first EFPA Match.

Scifo returned to club football with Mons between 2012 and 2013. Between 2015 and 2016, he served as the manager of the Belgium U21 national team. Scifo was appointed manager of Mouscron in 2021, but was dismissed from his position after a poor start to the season.{{Cite web |date=14 October 2021 |title=Enzo Scifo et l’Excel Mouscron, c’est terminé |trans-title=Enzo Scifo and Excel Mouscron, it’s over |url=https://www.lesoir.be/400571/article/2021-10-14/enzo-scifo-et-lexcel-mouscron-cest-termine |website=lesoir.be |language=fr}} In 2024, Enzo Scifo was appointed talent manager of Louviéroise, the club where he started as a youth player.{{cite web |date=6 August 2024 |title=Bienvenue Enzo Scifo ! |url=https://www.raal.be/bienvenue-enzo-scifo/ |access-date= |work=raal.be |language=fr}}
