Renzo De Vecchi (Italian pronunciation: ['r?ntso de 'v?kki]; 3 February 1894 – 14 May 1967) was an Italian football player and coach who played as a defender.
He competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics with Italy, and is officially the youngest player to have ever played a match for the Italy national side.
Regarded as one of Italy's greatest ever players, he was known for his excellent technique, dribbling skills, and his accuracy from penalty kicks, despite being a defender.
As a ball-winning full-back, he was known for his strength, tackling ability, anticipation, and his organisational skills on the left flank, and was also capable of playing in the centre or in midfield.
