Timeline

1970

Massimo Taibi (born 18 February 1970) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for several clubs, mostly in Italy's Serie A, B, and C1.

He had a brief spell at English club Manchester United.

1989

Taibi started his career for Licata until 1989.

He appeared only once, before moving to Trentino, where he was a first-choice goalkeeper, playing 23 matches.

1990

After one season, he moved to Milan in Serie A for the 1990–91 season.

As in his first club, he was not used at all, and shortly moved to Como, where he played the following season.

After that he moved to Piacenza.

1992

With the goal, Taibi was the second goalkeeper to score from open play in Serie A history after Michelangelo Rampulla in 1992.

1993

Taibi played a total of 292 Serie A games between 1993 and 2007; during his career he stopped 12 spot kicks in the Italian top flight, the joint-ninth-most penalties saved in Serie A history, alongside Emiliano Viviano, Luigi Turci and Giuseppe Taglialatela.

Piacenza

Manchester United

1996

Taibi stayed there for five seasons, until the 1996–97 season, and appeared for most of the club's games.

Piacenza thought his time was over, so they sold him to the club which had not played him, Milan.

1997

This time, Milan played him in half of the 1997–98 season's games as a backup to teammate Sebastiano Rossi.

1998

Then Milan sold him to Venezia in 1998.

In his first season with Venezia, he played in nearly every game.

1999

In 1999, following an injury to Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich, the reigning English and European champions purchased Taibi for £4.5 million on 31 August 1999.

He made his debut against Liverpool, where he failed to claim a high ball from a free kick, allowing Sami Hyypiä to score; however, he later made a number of saves, including a one-on-one from Vladimír Šmicer.

United went on to win 3–2 with Taibi getting the man of the match award.

Taibi shared goalkeeping duties with fellow understudy Raimond van der Gouw, taking responsibility for league matches while Van der Gouw started in the UEFA Champions League, even after Bosnich's recovery; however, a mistake against Southampton on 25 September 1999, when Taibi let a weak shot from Matthew Le Tissier slip through his legs into the goal, led to him being dubbed "The Blind Venetian" by one newspaper.

He only played once more for Manchester United, in a 5–0 defeat at Chelsea on 3 October 1999, United's first league defeat since losing to Middlesbrough in December 1998.

2000

In January 2000, Taibi joined Reggina on loan until the end of the season, where he played regularly.

After the loan spell ended, Manchester United made it clear that – although Taibi was available for transfer – another loan deal was out of the question, rejecting a bid from Napoli.

In July 2000, Manchester United agreed to allow Taibi to rejoin Reggina for a fee of £2.5 million.

After the 2000–01 season finished in relegation for Reggina, he was shifted to Atalanta as a replacement of Ivan Pelizzoli.

2001

On 1 April 2001, Taibi scored a goal with a header off a corner kick in the 87th minute against Udinese to equalise the score final score to a 1–1 draw at home.

2005

In the summer of 2005, he went on loan to Torino, serving as first-choice goalkeeper; the move became permanent in 2006, with Taibi however becoming the backup goalkeeper behind Christian Abbiati.

2007

He made his seasonal debut on 13 January 2007.

In the 2007–08 season, he joined Ascoli, as Torino acquired the services of Matteo Sereni.

2009

Taibi played 47 matches, before he announced his retirement from football in 2009.

A centre-forward in his youth, whose role model was Roberto Boninsegna, Taibi later switched to the position of goalkeeper.

He was known in particular for his penalty-saving abilities as a shot-stopper.
