Massimo Storgato was born on June 3, 1961 in Casale Monferrato in Piedmont.
He began his football career with Juventus and in 1979 was sent to Bergamo on loan to play for Atalanta in Serie B. After 18 league appearances he went back to Turin but in 1980-81 made just one appearance, even though the Bianconeri won the scudetto. In 1981 he moved to Cesena in Serie A again on loan and made 15 appearances. With Juve in 1982-83 he made 6 appearances in Serie A and won a Coppa Italia. In 1983 he moved again and went on loan to Verona where he finally got more playing time (26 appearances and three goals).
In 1984 he was loaned to Lazio. It was a disastrous year for the Biancocelesti who were relegated. Storgato turned out to be more of a liability than an asset but he did play 27 games.
In 1985 he signed for Udinese where he stayed for four years, apart for a few months in 1987 with Avellino. With Udinese he was first relegated and then promoted back to Serie A in 1988-1989. He made 98 appearances with the Friulani.
He continued to play throughout the 1990s even though in the minor tiers with Cosenza, Alessandria, Pro Vercelli, Ivrea and Sangiustese. With the latter he was player/manager.
Storgato later became a full-time manager and coached an array of teams mostly in the minor tiers. But he did also coach Juventus’ Under 17s between 2002 and 2007 winning a scudetto in 2005-06, and the Primavera teams of Modena (2012-13) and Padova (2013-14).
Storgato is certainly not remembered well at Lazio, but nobody can say to be very fond of that 1984-85 season.
