Luigi "Gigi" Radice (Italian pronunciation: [luˈiːdʒi ˈdʒiːdʒi raˈdiːtʃe]; 15 January 1935 – 7 December 2018) was an Italian football manager and player.

A strong, tenacious, and consistent defender, he was usually deployed as a left-back. As a manager, he was known for his use of "zona mista" tactics, and his early attempts to implement "pressing" and zonal marking tactics into his teams.[1][2][3]
