Carlo Carcano (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkarlo ˈkarkano]; 26 February 1891 – 23 June 1965) was an Italian footballer and manager who played as a midfielder.

He led Juventus to four consecutive league titles; the first of only two managers in Italy football history (alongside Massimiliano Allegri) to win four in a row.[1] He later also managed the Italy national football team.
He was suddenly removed from the Juventus club in December 1934 in order to stifle a homosexual scandal in which he was involved by elements of society hostile to him. He remained on the edge of the football world for a decade.
