Career
[edit]Born in Cormano, Melgrati began his career in Legnano's youth system until promotion to the first team in 1966. He played four seasons with them until 1970 in Serie C, making 114 appearances and scoring two goals.
In the 1970–71 season, he moved to Como, which competed in Serie B, and played two seasons there before moving to Perugia in 1972. In the following year, Melgrati returned to Como and played seven seasons there, where he played almost full-time in all competitions, making 254 appearances in the championship – the sixth most in Como's history.
In 1980, after Como returned to Serie A, he moved to Chiasso to play in the Lega Nazionale A, the top tier of Swiss football league, and made a total of 49 appearances.
In his career he made 22 appearances in Serie A, with one goal in a historic 3–0 win over Inter on 16 November 1975, also with 224 appearances and one goal in Serie B.[1]
In 1984, Melgrati started his career as a football coach with Pro Patria after retiring as a player. He coached the club for three seasons until 1987.[2]
