Vincenzo "Enzo" Daniele Scifo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɛntso ˈʃʃiːfo]; born 19 February 1966 in Haine-Saint-Paul)[1] is a retired Belgian football midfielder. He was a member of the Belgian 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.[2] He proved himself a highly promising talent in youth football and was nicknamed "Little Pelé" at his local team. Scifo joined his local club R.A.A. Louviéroise as a seven-year-old in 1973.[2] He transferred to Belgium's most successful club, R.S.C. Anderlecht, in 1982,[2] making his first team debut in 1983.

Club career

After winning three Belgian First Division championships with Anderlecht, Scifo moved to Italian Serie A club Internazionale in 1987. After an unsuccessful spell in Milan, he moved to French club Bordeaux in 1988 where he again disappointed.[3] His career was revived by a successful move to Auxerre in 1989, which led to a return to Italy with Torino in 1991.[4] Scifo then moved to AS Monaco, where he 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.[5] He joined Charleroi in 2000, but retired later in the same year after being diagnosed with chronic arthritis.[6]

National team

Scifo debuted internationally for Belgium in June 1984 against Yugoslavia.[9]

He appeared for Belgium in the World Cups of 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998, playing sixteen games.[10] In total he gained eighty-four international caps and scored eighteen goals.[11]

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 last trained R.E. Mouscron, a Belgian League team. On 6 June 2009 Scifo quit Mouscron due to the club's difficult financial situation.[12]

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.
