Career & Clubs
Olivieri was born in San Michele Extra, Verona. He played for Hellas Verona, Lucchese, and Brescia in Serie B, and Torino in Serie A.
With the Italy national football team, Olivieri became World Champion in 1938.
A shot-stopper with efficient spring, Olivieri is regarded as one of Italy's greatest goalkeepers. Throughout his career he was known in particular for his quick reflexes, intelligence, and ability to rush off his line, and anticipate opposing forwards outside of his area, which earned him the nickname il Gatto Magico ("the Magic Cat"). He also excelled at coming out to block the ball.
